Re: Connectivity with Iprimus

Hi Mark,
Get the documentation for your modem & duplicate v42bis error correction
& MNP5 compression for your modem.

A typical v90 modem may require:
ats7=60l3m3x3w1\\v1

Your mileage may vary!

Note, as mentioned below, you may want to turn off data compression,
although if it works, it will increase throughput.

PPP PARAMETERS:

Your IP address..: 0.0.0.0        ÿ ÿ Nameserver address: 0.0.0.0
Dest. IP address.: 0.0.0.0        ÿ ÿ Backup nameserver.: 0.0.0.0
                                  ÿ ÿ Your host name....:
Netmask..........: 255.255.255.0  ÿ ÿ Domain name.......: 

[X] Allow PAP Authentication      ÿ  ÿ Restart timer..: 3500
[ ] Allow CHAP Authentication     ÿ  ÿ Max. tries.....: 15
[ ] Allow MS-CHAP Authentication  ÿ  ÿ MRU............: 576
[X] Negotiate ACCM to 0           ÿ  ÿ Interface name.: ppp
[ ] FCS checking                  ÿ  ÿ Priority %.....: 60
[ ] Addr & Cntl field compression ÿ  ÿ UI priority %..: 0
[ ] Protocol compression          ÿ  ÿ PPPFLAG timeout: 2000 ms
[ ] ECHO-REQ resets idle timeout  ÿ  ÿ
[ ] Use VJ Compression            ÿ  ÿ

Note MRU=576 is good for a <= 33k6 link.
Set MRU=1152 for a >33k6 link.

Test host processor was a P133mmx laptop running OS/2 Warp 4 FixPak 15.
Priority could be set lower for a faster CPU without Netscape running or
for Linux.
PPP dialer was InJoy Dialer v2.3, http://www.fx.dk
