[Generic K56 Info]

[CONFIRMED]   Non 56k modem won't connect to a 56k dialing? Add ,,,, to
              the end of the phone number, this will create a long enough
              pause for the modem to skip hearing the FUNKY 56K tones. 
              You may need to play with the number of commas.

[CONFIRMED]   Does modem report 115k or 56k connections???
              add w2 to init string to enable DCE vs. DTE connect messages
              
 
[UNCONFIRMED] To disable x2, add:
              S32=32 (for Sportster: likely will work on all X2 modems) 
              S58=1  (for Courier) 

[UNCOFIRMED]  These may help to disable x2 also:
              s15.7=1 
              &N16&U8 
              &N16 
              S32.5=1

[CONFIRMED]   Transfer problems in 95/NT? turn off flow control!
              under port settings

[CONFIRMED]   AT&F2 Normal handshake then LOTS of noise at the
              end of the negotiations? This will fix it.

[CONFIRMED]   AT&F0 Seems to fix negotiations that just NEVER finish..

[CONFIRMED]   Fixes disconnects, and flow control problems.
              Don't do this until you've turned off flow control under the
              port settings in windows 95. This init turns off normal flow
              control and data compression, and does it someother way?!

[BOCA]

[UNCOMFIRED]  report of problems with NT and the 28.8 internal
              i was unable to assign the modem a com port after
              detecting it.


[PRACTICAL PERHS]

[CONFIRMED]   PP 33.6 will not work with NT 3.51 without a driver from
              PP's webpage.

[CONFIRMED]   Some 33.6k Minitowers made from July-August in 1997 have a
              firmware bug that will cause them to lockup and refuse to
              transfer data. More info & a list of bad serial numbers
              is at http://www.practical.com/faq/mt336.shtml


[SUPRA]

[COMFIRED]    Supra internal modems are PNP! Make sure the modem isn't on
              com 5 or something wacky like that. Under communications
              there should be nothing for the com port you have modem on.
              These will not work unless the driver for windows 95 is
              loaded.

[CONFIRMED]   SupraExpress 33.6K MAC. When the modem won't even pass username
              try init string at&f2 (this was under old configPPP)

[CONFIRMED]   28.8 init string (dialing problem) AT&FEVQM1X0S7=120!



[Sierra]

[CONFIRMED]   28.8 init string (at&h1&r2&b1&k1&m4&s54=196) i ran this in
              hyperterminal and the system freaked out, but then the
              dialer started working. I did recieve an error response
              when i put it in (i don't think the modem has a s54 reg.).
              The same person called back a month later. An ATZ fixed
              it. (also tried at&f)

              
[UNCONFIRMED] AT&F&C1&D2&Q5\V0^M fixed a SQ3465
