S7 is default 60 seconds the modem waits for a carrier while dialing. S38 is default 0, which I set to 2 seconds, this is how long the modem waits "before a forced hang-up and clearing of the Transmit buffer... This allows time for a remote modem to acknowledge receipt of all transmitted data before it is disconnected." One thing that relates to all this modem business that I have been wondering about is the "CONNECT" string. Under trumpet the CONNECT string is printed and if I see 12000 baud, I simply hang up and redial to get 26400 or 28800. Is there a way with iijppp to print the "CONNECT" string? The log file doesn't show acceptable responses, I have "set debug phase chat lcp". -- Gabor Kincses (gabor@acm.org)
