Some things only improve connections slightly, but help for those with problems connecting to a Sportster. Better to use a Courier. Do note that some of the commands did change from the 28.8 to the 33.6 version and someone may X init string and another person has Y init string and combining them may not work, best to read the command set before hand. We are phasing out our Courier/Sportster/Supra modems and are switching to PM3 units. Rather happy that I got the clear to swtich to Courier and the PM3 is comparable in price per port ~$350. >times, so that really bites :) I'm "hoping" this where my problem lies, if >anyone has any other suggestions as to what might make the connections so >unreliable, I'm open for suggestions (FreeBSD 2.2.1, Cyclades Yo board). Keep them COOL and have fan blowing on them. Disconnects, failed connects, and no connect period are the escalating problem as temperatures rise. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
