I have at last found this software at
	http://heroinewarrior.com/bcast2000.php3

It looks good - but you do need the 2.4 kernel and XFree 4.0.x! I will
have a play with this shortly on the latest Red Hat beta (fisher)
released today.

Re: Dial-in on 56k modems

    Ok, I have a Netcomm Roadster56k ULTRA modem.

    I have set this up so my brother can dial in here from his home, the
distance from here to exchange to him is 1km-Ext-1km so the distances
are not that great.

    The phone line here is a Optus Cable phone (the phones that use a
channel on the Optus cable itself not line rental from Tel$tra)

    I have read the documentation and contacted Netcomm Tech support
(and some guys that knew what they were talking about at Netcomm) and
the speeds on a 56k modem are *only* as follows

    Data rate from ISP to modem (to you) is 56k max
    Data rate from modem to ISP (from you) is 33k6 max

    So, therefore when your friend dials into you, the maximum connect
speed he/she will het is 33k6.

    To get the full 56k connect speed you will require a modem with the
propriatry standard for transmitting 56k data streams :o)

    Yes, I found the same problem after my brother complained to me that
his connection is only a measly 33k6 max...

    Now I just have to work out the asyncmap 32bit word for
/etc/ppp/options.dialin so it dosn't keep hanging all the time on him
and I'll be right for now ;o)

    See-ya

Actually, the max speed is 53.333k otherwise austel permits are violated
from memory.

And an ISDN line on the end receiving the call.

This ISP-type thing is starting to sound just like the BBS's used to be,
before the 'net came along and squashed all our systems :(  Every second
person running their own 'little' ISP... I do it.. one or two of my
friends do it, and I guess we're all violating the TIO's rubbish rules
too. :)

    austel permits ?

    The maximum data rates for modems on standard grade telephone copper
(before ADSL and 28k8 modem) was 2400, that was the maximum guarenteed data
rates for those lines, anything higher was not supported, and if you
complained to Telecom Oz about poor connect speeds they just said about the
2400 bit and that was final, anything higher apart from purchasing ISDN for
your home we are not going to do a thing about it...

    I havn't seen the austel spec's but I wonder when they raised it from
2400.

    I have tried that, I still get disconnections.

Well, there's something somewhere that says the maximum speed allowed
is 53.333k.  Feel free to look up the info yourself, and feel free to
prove me wrong by all means.

Ok, on both ends try putting S2=255 in the modem init strings.  It
will disable the (plus)(plus)(plus) escape code.  If that doesn't work
then how about emailing some of the log of the connection to the list
for us all to see.. maybe someone can help.

Re: Re: Dial-in on 56k modems

Rod,

Found something to back me up.  It's the FCC rules apparently, not
austel, either way, here's the snippet from the webpage I found it on:

local interface

i have a debian box (potato) that is running as a server and there is
one thing
peculiar about it - the loopback interface never seems to get set up.

the /etc/network/interfaces file is appended below:

# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during theDebian
installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway

Advice, please, anyone?

Well, FCC rules mean bugger all here...

Austel, that's another matter, of course. :)

Seems to me they are still obeying the FCC rules though because I've
seen constant 53.333k connects here but nothing higher (using Lucent
chipset modems with our Lucent portmaster).
