My Modem Init String will NOT fit in the provided box under Win2K? It
worked fine under 98 but 2K allows fewer characters in the modem
config box.

Is there an .ini file or registry location I put a modem init strong
under Win2K to overcome this limitation?

thanks,

keyboard and composed:

FWIW, here are the relevant registry keys for Win95:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\Modem\000n\Init
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\Modem\000n\Settings\Init

The default string should have been provided when the modem was installed.
Any changes, and there should be only a few alterations, are added elsewhere
and should not exceed the amount of room allotted. I suspect you are putting
in a bunch of unnecessary and/or redundant commands. Try trimming what isn't
needed.

Start by determining what is sent to the modem by default (examine modem log
for initialization sequence). Eliminate from your desired init string that
are in the default strings. Next, eliminate &F (or &F1 in case of USRs) from
your added string, it will just reset everything to factory defaults again
(this is in all default init strings created during installation). You
should then have only a few commands left and they will fit within the space
allowed.

In fact, provide the modem make and model and the init string you want to
add and I (or one of the others here) will tell you which ones to eliminate
and why.

Sure!

It's a Creative De5621 V.92. w/ a conexant chipset. For some reason
they have a flash for Win2K specifically and I installed that (not
sure that was a good idea or not). I use the creative drivers, not
windows (I wonder who teh real maker of this modem is?) The model is
about a year old or so, still available currently retail and presently
set up in a w2kpro system. I dial 4 different ISPs thru it. None are
V.92 of course. I have call waiting and like to have interruptions in
my connection for incoming calls. (well I don't like to but you know
what I mean since I only have a single phone line)

Here's the string I'm currently using...

AT+MS=V90,1,2400,33600,40000,48000;+PCW=1;S11=55;S 10=60

It would originally only take about 20 or so chars. Now that I put the
string (above) directly in the registry - it seems to allow me put in
longer strings or edit them or something. Then again, maybe it was a
service pack (this is a new system install upgrade for me)

thanks!

Thanks, I'll take that shorter version - though it's still to long to
fit in the original config window. :-)

You are dropping the "AT", aren't you? It shouldn't be needed (DUN will
supply one).
