Marwood) Newsgroups: comp.dcom.modems Subject: Modem problems Message-ID: Date: 30 Dec 87 04:27:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 15 I have recently purchased a SmartTEAM 1200AT modem. The first unit I received caused quite a few errors during file transfers, e.g. about 70 in a 40K file. This was duly replaced by the supplier. The new unit still gives errors, though fewer (typically one error every 20K of file transferred). I also see the occasional altered character on the screen. I had previously seen good reports of SmartTEAM units. Does anyone have any experience of this unit. I am wondering whether to persevere and try to get another replacement or cut my losses at this point. Gordon Marwood P.S. The modem is connected to an Apple ][+ via a Super Serial Card, but I don't see that it is anything to do with the problem. I have previously used a USR Password 1200 and it is very unusual to get errors.
