I have 8 Dell Latitude XPIcd's that use the modemin the subject line. They are having a hell of a time connecting and staying connected to AT&T. I tried using the following init string I found on Intel's website that optimizes setting for connecting to a shiva:

AT&F&C1&D3&Q5%C3\N3S7=60S36=7S46=138S48=7S95=47

It seems to help a little but I'mnot having the sucess I had hoped. This modem is only capable of 33.6 but I've seen these modems get good connecting in the past when Iworked at USR. Any ideas.

I forgot to add the most common reason I see for the modem not connecting is something about the Dial Up servernot responding. This is Windows 95b with the DUN 1.3 upgrade.

Now, why would Intel give init string advice for a USR modem connecting to AT&T?

There is no magic string.

1st step - check modem diagnostics / make test calls with Hyperterminal

They don't but they dogive advice forconnecting to a shiva. I thought their advice might also apply here. This laptop will travel all over the country so analyzing phone lines didn't see like the answer. Thanks for the response
