Help--Hawaii

Ok heres the deal, I can log on to the network just fine, everything works great, and then when I goto the race scheduler it will lock up for a about 1 min and then it will say "bad connection, but were coping" then it will go back to where the menu is and a box will appear that says "init error" or something to that effect and then it kicks me off the service. Please someone help. I have a Zoom 14.4PC with V.32bis. Thanks -

My first guess is that you have a noisy phone line on your end. Make sure you connect at 9600 BPS. Step 2 would be to pull out the ZOOM user's guide & find the commands to force off error correction and force off data compression. you might also want to force 9600bps in the init string as well. Let me know if you still have problems... Ed Martin Producer, Series Director NASCAR Racing League Papyrus / Sierra On-Line, Inc.

For Zoomfax 14.4 with V.32 bis I'm using as my init string AT &F &Q0 %C0 %E0 N0 S37=9 It seems to work ok but it's hard to tell as my motherboard is EISA and that kinda slows it all down on this end. :-).
