GK Dial modem initialisation commands

#1 Post by Ledster »

My zoom fax external modem needs initialising with AT+MS=V92 and AT+DCS=1,1 to work at maximum speed. So went to /etc/ppp/chatscripts/myisp and found (amongst other stuff):

"" "ATZ" - which just sets the defaults

so tried
"" "AT+MS=V92 AT+DCS=1,1" - would not dial
"AT+MS=V92" "AT+DCS=1,1" - would not dial
"" "AT+MS=V92" - dialled ok

Seems it will only accept one argument!
So tried splitting it onto 2 lines:

"" "AT+MS=V92"
"" "AT+DCS=1,1"

Dialled ok, but are both commands being recognised?

My question is, have I done the right thing? Or should I be doing something else?

Who knows?! We keep saying that GKDial is a pile of pants and that the much older WVDial is more reliable, easier to edit and always works.
To address your question more directly, there's been a lot of discussion which would be worth revisiting. There are utilities that can be used to determine your connection details and performance; DSL can do this, as well. Always worth having a word with BT, too - they will increase your gain setting at the exchange if you talk to the engineer nicely.
