    MoIP: How do we make modem calls over IP? (and general chat about phone networks and modems, T1, E1, BRI 56k etc)

    The config in the previous post doesn't send the outbound caller ID name (just the name, the number is fine). Here is a corrected version: #----------------------------------------------------------------# # # # SN4112/JS/EUI...

    MoIP: How do we make modem calls over IP? (and general chat about phone networks and modems, T1, E1, BRI 56k etc)

    Well, voip.ms does proxy all the media so some of that is probably latency on their server turning the call around. But after thorough testing I can confidently say the Grandstream HT802 is much worse in the latency department than the Cisco ATA 191. The Patton is better still than the Cisco...

    Southern Europe Ibm 5151 flyback transformer

    I'm sorry I went and looked and I don't have any extras left. I was confused by this so I searched my DMs and apparently I sold my last 3 of them all to @Exceter perhaps he will be willing to sell you one if he still has an extra

    There are two different standards for the RS-232 serial port pinheader pinout. See here: vogons thread

    Need Help with CDROM Drivers on a 486

    Judging from the presence of the "i386" and "dotnetfx" directories, I can confidently say that is not a windows 98 CD. XP maybe?

    Southern Europe Ibm 5151 flyback transformer

    I have a new in box one if you really need it. International shipping from the US is quite expensive though $20US+ Are you sure the flyback is actually the problem?

    The Patton Smartnode 4112 is nice. I'd say for anyone wanting to setup a basic analog ATA for modem use this is definitely the one to get. Much better choice than the Cisco ATA191 or Grandstream HT802. That being said, it is a professional device and that shows. Both in the quality and in the...

    Dial up hardware modem vs software modem

    There was something Winmodemesque before 1995 - Rockwell RPI modems. They are standard controller based modems which have no compression or error correction in hardware. That was done in properitary RPI terminal software.

    XTIDE Boot Drive Issue

    I'd be curious to know how the situation would change (if at all) if you leave the DIPs on 3 and set the XUB to force 3 floppy drives. But I understand if editing the ROM is too much hassle

    XTIDE Boot Drive Issue

    Perhaps you're thinking of the DRIVPARM directive? That only works if the BIOS assigns a letter to the drive. Back to your original question though, I just fired up XTIDECFG and it seems the configuration for default boot drive is expressed in BIOS drive number (default 80h) and not drive...

    XTIDE Boot Drive Issue

    If you want DOS to automatically assign a drive letter to the third floppy then you should set the DIPs to 3. If you're content to rely on loading driver.sys and losing a couple k of conventional memory in the process then I guess you can leave the DIPs on 2

    MoIP: How do we make modem calls over IP? (and general chat about phone networks and modems, T1, E1, BRI 56k etc)

    Ok it would seem the drastic swings in latency were not attributable to the ATA but instead to the voip.ms servers. Both of the Washington servers give wildly variable results but I am tentatively getting more consistent results with one of the New York ones. It's shaping up like the cisco and...

    MoIP: How do we make modem calls over IP? (and general chat about phone networks and modems, T1, E1, BRI 56k etc)

    Still doing testing with the Grandstream device but so far it seems consistently about 200ms WORSE than the Cisco ATA. I have both of them setup side by side on my PBX and make modem calls back to back to a BBS on a "real" landline using each ATA. The GS gives me a RTT of about 200ms higher on...
