i have two issues w/ my notepager pro and an us robotics external 56k modem. first under the connection monitor, it takes 3 or more commands for the modem to 'hang up' . this ties up the program and slows down multiple messages. second i am having issues transmitting messages to verizon. it takes 2 or three attempts to successfully transmit a message. when notpager connects to the carrier the modem just sits in connection mode. occasionally the message will completly fail. i have reinstalled and updated the driver. any suggestions?

Generally, the problems you're referring to are caused by an initialization string that, while it works, isn't the perfect string for your modem. What make and model of modem are you using? I know you mentioned it was an external US Robotics modem but which specific one is it? Also, what is your current init string?

What's your current initialization string?

Also, is this a problem that has been happening since you started to use that modem or is it a problem that randomly started to happen?

i have always had problems w/ the modem not 'hanging up' till the 3rd attempt. the issue w/ verizon is new.

Well, there are a few things that we can try. I'm not sure which Verizon terminal you're dialing but you could try this one: 866-823-0501

You may also want to contact them directly to see if they have a TAP Terminal local to your area and see if you can connect to that one.

You could also try setting your init string back to (auto) and see if perhaps it picks a different string this time around and the Verizon terminal likes that method of communication.
