We have a customer that is using a Dell Poweredge 1600sc running Sco Openserver 5.0.6 using a USR modem 5686e . We can dial in no problem and send data till the cows come home but when we try to pull data back it looks like it is pulling OK and at different points we get this error "The file transfer is active, but sector XX was received twice. The duplicate sector has been discarded." and it stops transferring data. We have tried 2 init strings: ats0=002&a0&k0&m0&d0&h1&i1&n6&w0&w1 and at&f&k0&m0&a0&n6&u6&w. We have slowed our modem speeds down and remove error correction and data compression with no luck anyone have any ideas?

SCO 5.0.6 transferring data using modem

If you are able to connect successfully, most likely the problem is not related to your modem settings. The problem is more likely related to your communications software. What software and protocol are you using for transferring the data?

Just in case this helps: We had similar problems with file transfers when the modem was attached to a DigiBoard device. We solved this by disabling the "fastcook" option using ditty. i.e.:
# ditty -fastcook
What type of serial port is in use? Are you trying to do this on a standard COM1/COM2 port?
