Dear Fellow Arachnids: I have experience in using many different modems to get on line with various DOS internet applications. So far I have found that any functional real modem, even very old 2400 bps. modems, will work with EPPPD.
I have encountered several real modems that will work fine with EPPPD, but they will not work at all with LSppp. Has anyone discovered any particular characteristics or features present or lacking in real modems that are incompatible with LSppp? One thing I have discovered about modems that are incompatible with Lsppp is that the incompatibility problem seems to be unrelated to the brand or the manufacturer, or the modem speed, or the date of manufacture. BTW, a common error message returned by LSppp when it fails to connect when using an incompatible modem is "get a Hayes modem". I have found that using a Hayes modem does not guarantee compatibility with LSppp. I have a genuine Hayes modem, being an external 9600 bps. modem, that works fine with EPPPD, but it won't work with LSppp. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
