Have a go with +ms=11 or *mm12 or maybe just -v90=0

Subject: Intel HAM modem strings ?

Not sure if this is ontopic, but I'll give it a go anyway ;-)

Does anyone know of an init string for Intel HAM based modems that will
force them to connect using only V34 ? (That works ?)

People on rural lines often can't get reliable connections using V90 or
56Flex, but forcing the modem to use V34 usually makes a huge improvement.

For the common Rockwell and Lucent based modems its easy, for example
-V90=0S38=0 for LT winmodems and +MS=V34 for most Rockwell based modems.

So far I've been totally unable to find a string that actually works for
the Intel HAM based modems, and they seem to be worse than other modems
when it comes to not falling back automatically on poor lines. (Read: they
wont even connect at all on typical rural lines where Lucent/Rockwell
modems will at least get some kind of connection, albeit dodgy)

Any pointers ?

(Sorry if this is offtopic, but I thought it was an issue that most ISP's
will have had to deal with at some time or another)
