Arrrghhhh! About 2E6 times someone mentiones changing some init-strings to make the 701-modem not hang up after 5 minutes. which strings do you change? i have not been able to find any init-strings to change with win95-plus-pack ppp! and if i were to find them, or change to trumpet-ppp, _nobody_ has yet posted the actual, working init-strings. also, updating the mwave-modem has been recommended. the tp701 modem is not a mwave in the broader sense: the dsp software can not be updated. so far, the most promising right now seems to be to heat up the thinkpad. (or upgrade to one of the new thinkpads, anyone remember the thread about them getting too hot?) any suggestions on glueing an isolator to the bottom? if anything conclusive _and_ working comes up, i'll put it on my web-site. nothing there yet, though. and only if i have the time. but my TV was stolen yesterday, so that isn't the problem right now. if my tone is off, please excuse me. as i mentioned, my TV is gone... axel > >Regarding the modem problem, >I only managed to fix the problem with my shell account. >It would not down load files, and would disconnect from >email every now and then. > >Added a new modem string I got from some >helpful person on the laptop news group. > >Will play with netscape next, but it sounds like that >may not yeild so easily.
