Hi all-
Running box-stock Sharp ROM 2.38 on a 5500, and have installed a Socket CF 56k modem.
I\'m having trouble connecting to my local ISP via my home phone line with the Z- the same one I\'m using right now with my desktop PC to post this message so I know the phone line can work for data.
The Z can connect on other phone lines using the CF modem, in fact the second line here in my house works just fine. However, I\'ve found other places where it doesn\'t work.
I\'ve tried playing with the settings in the standard Internet Wizard- speeds, timeouts, flow control. No good. I always get a \"Timed Out\" error after about 60 seconds.
I listened in on the phone line to check on progress,and the dialing is OK, the remote modem answers, but the two don\'t seem to be able to link up.
I live on a country road where dialup speeds are generally pretty slow (24000 is not uncommon, although I often can do 33600).
I dropped a note to Socket, and no response yet. I called my local telco and they said they could send a tech- for $91 if they determine the line is \"OK.\" \"OK\" to them means you can make a voice call- no guarantees for data. So nix that idea.
I\'m wondering if there are any settings for the ppp or chap that I can manually change to ask the modem to keep trying longer than that 60 seconds- just to see if I can force it to link up.
Any ideas or hints appreciated!
