DrTodd13 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Does anybody else have a v.92 modem and use the modem-on-hold feature?The modem-on-hold technology is supposed to let you take a phone call fora limited amount of time while still connected to the Internet and then to beable to resume as if nothing had happened. Is there anyway to get the BBO client to interpret a modem-on-hold differently than an Internet disconnect? Anyway for the server to not indicate my connection has been lost either?

Gerardo Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Don't think so, BBO is too sensitive about having a sign of life (a msg from the client) in a reasonable amount of time. BBO has no way to know whether you have your modem-on-hold, or if the problem is other, it just see no msg from client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 BBO will give you a red dot at a table in about 15-30 seconds, and boot you after 5 minutes. The BBO PC program will assume the worst after about 2-3 minutes, so as long as the network connections are maintained ( i dont know how on-hold workd) you might survive a fast call.

DrTodd13 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 From a program's perspective, when the modem-on-hold feature kicks in, it will look like the Internet connection has been totally lost. As soon as this feature kicks in, the BBO client just gives up and pops up that window about wanting to know if I want to learn about reasons for Internet disconnections.

uday Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 What happens to (say) an ongoing HTTP download? If the connection is reported to the program as being lost, there isnt much we could do at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
