Hallo,
I just bought this modem from ONSALE! and after installing it yesterday, I have some questions that I
hope someone on this list can perhaps answer.
1. This was sold to me as a "IBM PCMCIA 33.6 Fax/Modem - Repackaged", the manual that comes with
the modem, however, gives the speed as 28.8. How do I find out which speed the modem actually
supports?
2. After putting it into my TP 760 ED (running Warp 4), I experienced some problems: first, I put the
machine into resume mode. When I tried to "awaken" it about half an hour later by pressing the Fn-key, it
didnīt come up. I had to press the powerswitch, which apparently resulted in a cold reboot (lengthy
CHKDSK).
Looking at the ThinkPad features, I found that the hibernation feature is greyed out (although I have used
it and a huge Hibernation file sits on my disk). Pressing the "Enable hibernation..." button resulted in an
error message saying that the machine cannot create a hibernation file while PC card for communication
is attached. Why does the modem affect these features? After all, it needs no special drivers since, as is
stated on the Warp 4 Online Drivers Page, is supported by the base operating system. I woul be really
grateful for any hints in resolving these mysteries.
3. Connecting via PPP works fine with InJoy. Any hints as to what is the best init-string for this modem for
this use?
Thanks for all help
Andreas
