Seeing how this is an email served forum, this may be old interest to
those who (like me) have older 14.4 modems.
For the last week and a half, I have been having terrible problems
connecting to my email provider, Juno. I have received many "carrier
not detected" problems.
A friend of mine told me today that there has been much talk lately in
the modem conferences about the upgrades to the new 2x modem code.
This upgrade brings many of the older US Robotics modems up to 56K
capability.
It turns out that when this new upgrade is placed into bulletin board
type service, connections to customer with older v.32 14.4 modems are
much harder to successfully negotiate. The new modems have to check
out so many different incoming speeds, that V.32, (14.4K) has been
de-emphasized in the check, and now works poorly.
I guess the idea was that nobody uses 14.4 now days anyway....
Therefore, it is likely that the problem I am seeing is *not* a Juno
problem, but rather that they have upgraded their modems, and the new
modems do not work well with older V.32 14.4 modems.
Oh well..... Time for a new modem.
