The modem pool for dial-in access to Miami computing resources has
been upgraded and expanded with new high speed modems.
The current configuration is as follows:
        Service:          14.4 kbps V.32bis
        Phone Number:     529-4999
        Qty:              22
        Compression:      V.42bis, MNP level 5
        Error Correction: V.42, MNP level 5
 
        Service:          9600 bps V.32
        Phone Number:     529-2161
        Qty:              10
        Compression:      MNP level 5
        Error Correction: MNP5 level 5
 
        Service:          2400 bps
        Phone Number:     529-6114
        Qty:              8
        Compression:      None
        Error Correction: MNP level 3
 
        Service:          1200 bps, Bell 212
        (NOTE: This service will be discontinued 3/18/94.
         Please use 2400 bps service after that time.)
        Phone Number:     529-5777
        Qty:              2
 
Please note the following comments concerning this upgrade of service.
 
1) Use the 14,400 bps service (529-4999) for newer modems of all speeds
   to take advantage of V.42bis compression.
   Note: Some users may require modem re-configuration to use higher
   speed services.  If you experience problems with 14,400 bps service,
   use the 9600 bps service (529-2161).
 
2) Use the 9600 bps service (529-2161), if you receive a busy signal
   when trying to attach to the 14,400 bps service.
 
3) The 2400 bps modems (529-6114) can be used for connection by all
   speeds of modems (at 2400 bps).  However, no compression is available.
 
4) The 1200 bps modems are primarily for use by old Racal-Vadic modems
   and are not recommended for connection by any other modems.
   Note that these modems will not be available after 3/19/94.  If you
   are using a modem that will not connect with the other services
   outlined above, please contact the Help Desk at 529-7900 for
   assistance.
 
5) The Kermit scripts for access to the IBM Mainframe, the MIAVX1 Vax and
   Sherlock do not require modification to work with the new high-speed
   modems.
 
6) Please see the related technical announcement, "Dial-In Service Technical
   Notes", for recommendations on specific software and hardware
   configurations.
