RAS Error 212: Bad Modem or COM Port Failure (119623)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Workgroup Connections 1.0
- Microsoft Remote Access Service 1.1a
This article was previously published under Q119623 SYMPTOMS
When you are using Workgroup Connections version 1.0 and Remote Access
Service (RAS) version 1.1a, a modem connection using compression to a
Sprintet X.25 Packet Assembly/Disassembly (PAD) may fail and the following
error message may appear:
RAS Error 212
Bad Modem or COM Port Failure
CAUSE
After renaming MCOMP.INF to MODEM.INF and dialing to the X.25 PAD, the
connection drops upon PAD initialization and results in the error message
above.
WORKAROUND
To avoid this problem, use the MODEM.INF file that comes with RAS 1.1a and
limit the modem transfer rate to 9600 baud.
