|    Magicjack and Modem test results    |
|    16 Jan 13 10:42:06    |
      Hello ALL!               Magicjack and modem test results as I promised a few weeks ago. I can report       that the connections were successful.                     I have a unique setup, it is a magicjack attached to a switch port on my       network, a USR Sportster 28800 hooked to it and to com 1 on a ubuntu box. I am       running a WINXP VM on the ubuntu box and Have D'Bridge in a DOS box doing the       sending and receiving.              I have been testing it with Mark Lewis. After writing a Modem Control file for       DB and opening up the com ports to 115200 I was able to get a 19200 connect.       FYI here is a log excerpt.                     01/07/2013 13:37 Calling 1:3634/0 at 33600 baud       01/07/2013 13:38 Modem reports "NO CARRIER"       01/07/2013 13:38 Calling 1:3634/0 at 33600 baud       01/07/2013 13:39 Modem reports "CONNECT 19200/ARQ/V34/LAPM"       01/07/2013 13:39 EMSI: 1:3634/12@fidonet, FrontDoor 2.33.mL.b2       01/07/2013 13:39 Z32-S: 11339471.PKT, 453b, 00:02       01/07/2013 13:39 Z32-S: 453b, 00:00       01/07/2013 13:39 Successful, 00:10, a "free" call       01/07/2013 13:39 Marking/Deleting mail                     I also tested it with Fred Riccio and some others. It worked equally well. The       only limitations that I found were caused by the software settings on the       receiving end and the baud rate that was listed in the nodelist. The highest       connect rate that I have been able to obtain thus far was 21600. If you are       using a 28800 or higher modem I suggest that your nodelisting reflect your       baud as 33600, which is the highest baud available per the FTS (Fidonet       Technical Standards) so a system dialing in to you will try to connect at the       highest baud rate and fall back as approproiate.               Later,       Bill               Internet: wabusa.com Telnet: bbs.wabusa.com Fidonet POTS: 330-548-2566        --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: INA:fidonet.wabusa.com, IBN (1:3634/15)    |
