   Magicjack and Modem test results

   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  Calling 1:3634/0 at 33600 baud   
   01/07/2013 13:39  Modem reports "CONNECT 19200/ARQ/V34/LAPM"

   01/07/2013 13:39  Successful, 00:10, a "free" call

   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,
