I suspect that Zoltrix could be one of those "RPI"-modems, which
needed the proprietary "Rockwell Protocol Interface" to run in a
decent way - and taht's hardly much different from the Win$hit
type: all data compression is done through the CPU, and _not_ by the
modem data pump.
In a very restricted sense these RPI modems are DOS compatible; but
then in a most painful manner, and would run at 9600 bps max, whith
many interruptions (error correction to by done by the 'puter, etc.)
In addition, all the RPI-chip based modems do differ among model and
made in their at-command set, and none was really Hayes-compatible.
If you haven't got the manual, it's pure masochism to try to set it up
reasonable.
And the worst, on many of the boxes in which they were sold it was not
even written that they contained the RPI-chip, at best there was some
stinking fart in the style of "... does amazing 33.6 Kbd with the RPI
interface INCLUDED FOR FREE !!!", or the like, and that driver/TSR
would sure only run with Win$. At the time I was cheated with two
pieces of that crap, and only then got to know of many others who lost
hours and days and weeks with it too.
So if it's an RPI (_perhaps_ it would reveal its nasty nature with
an "ati3/4/5" but that's not certain either) then best get rid of it
as fast as possible. Which is another problem, if you haven't got a
real bad enemy to give it to.
