Using a dial-up modem for data calls (calling a BBS?)
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:24 am
So I have a US Robotics modem and am trying to dial out using Ooma. If Fax is supported so should this at lower bit rates. The signal is so garbled it's useless, even going down to 300, 1200, or 2400 bps. I have the Home Premier account and set the FAX Premier redundancy level to 3 (it was default to 1 so I assume 3 is best). No help. I ordered a Linx which supposedly has a Fax/Data option, so maybe that'll work? Anyone else done this? I read on a few BBS forums where others have done this and it worked well up to 19.2 bps, but i'm not able to get a good connection at any rate.
Ooma Telo is setup per Option A in instructions between cable modem and router, and our internet connection is very sound. I tried calling support, but the folks who answered just knew their scripts and couldn't help. I hoped the community might be able to offer some suggestions. Thanks.
