Hello! Some time ago I asked about how one get's MWave of US-TP's working with the german Telekom. Here's the answer I found form some mailings and reserach work on the net, just if someone of you ever has the same problem: Wireing: ~~~~~~~~ RJ11: ----- TP uses 6 Pin western-plug (RJ11) with speechsignal between pin 3 and 4. Pin 2 and 5 are connected to W and F respectively. W is used as far as I know if one has an automatic switch between more than one phone (in germany called AWADO) or more complex phone equipment. F is for the Flash-funktion in such environments. Probably one actually doen't need F and W, I didn't test that. TAE: ---- TAE layout is as follows. If one views from front the layout is: F-plug (phone) N-plug (Modem etc.) F W x x x Lb Lb2 Lb x La La2 La La and La carry the speechsignal, La2 and Lb2 are for connecting additional devices behind. E. g. one could connect a phone, answeringmachine and modem in series. To get MWave working one should connect La and Lb to pins 3 and 4 of the RJ45, F and W to pin 2 and 5 respectively if one uses a F-plug. It really doesn't matter what plug one uses, cause the La and Lb-wires are allways connected to the same pins in TAE and the Thinkpad disables all additional devices connected behind it, cause it simply didn't know about the strange things the german Telekom does ;-) Connection for a N-plug should be simmilar, but I didn't build it up cause I have no N-plug arround. (For my testing I get the next phonewire availabe.) ThinkPad: ~~~~~~~~~ In the docs is mentioned that one has to select the contry exactly. For the purpose I thought about, connecting an US-TP to german phonenet this is simply wrong. One should set USA/Canada instead of germany. That's half of the work besides wiring. I found that one could have a perfect wire, modem working on all commands (e.g. AT&F, ATI etc.) but ATDT get's ERROR if one has selected GERMANY... Software: ~~~~~~~~~ Most software works fine with Hayes-compatible settings. Just to cover the most important. For InJoy (should I mention that I run OS/2? Think it's time to do so) I use as init AT&F and as Dial ATDT if I'm directly connected to an anlogue phoneline. If I'm connected to ISDN via an AD-converter or similar I use AT&FX1 for init and ATDT for dialing. X1 disables the waiting for a dialtone, which the modem will never get in that configurations. Rest of InJoy-configuration as usual. Internet-Connection should work with normal Hayes, but I allways use InJoy cause of much better performance and configrability. For those not using OS/2 (by now, they should try it ;-) InJoy is for building up Internet-connections. One of the best dialers I've ever seen. For Zoc just use normal Hayes. ZOC is a more or less "normal" communications program with many nice features. I'd judge it as Must Have. It's also available for Windows (95 and NT). For FaxWorks use 14400 Baud modem, Tone dialing, Class 2-Modem and Use 16550 UART. Rest is standard setting. FaxWorks will not connect using Class1 modem here. Tried that but got allways: No Carrier. FaxWorks is similar to WinFax I think. I use the version packed with Warp, but Pro-Version (now called PMFax) should be similar only with some features enabeled. -- CU/2 (( Proud to be member of Team OS/2 Europe #294 Alexander Wagner )) RTV Franken Team OS/2 Franken (( Request PGP-key Subject: Request for PGP-Keys --------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may also reply to Alexander.Wagner@gmx.de or Alexander.Wagner@gmx.net
