MODEM HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need help setting my initialization string for modem-modem play. I have an AVTEK 28.8k modem (CD990) and my friend has an X-LINK 33.6k modem. We want to link up and play against each other, but have not been very successful yet. Apparently you need to disable compression. Is this true ???? If there is anyone who can help us, we would be most grateful. Regards, Rod. -- "G'Day G'Day from Down Under"

Rod: Look in your respective modem manuals. They list the commands needed to disable error correction, disable data compression, reset factory defaults, and set baud rate. It's not that hard, but if you need to know the format of the init string, email me - I just got through doing it. A word of caution, however: The init string has NOT solved my problems with multiplayer. As a matter of fact, I can confidently say that the modem is correctly set up, but a bug in the game keeps me from racing my buddy over the modem. Good luck to you. Jody
