Remote PM2ER, ComOS 3.1.4, at the end of a 56k line. I just moved
this end of the line from an old cicso 2501 to a brand new 2514, and
the two systems are beating the line to death to death. from the
complaints (see below) by the cisco aout all sorts of thing not being
negotiated, it looks like this ferocious exchange of packets is an
attempt to complete PPP negotiation. This worked just fine with the
old cisco. The portmaster professes to be quite happy with things on
its end; here's the cisco output:

To rub salt in the wound, I can't contact the POP any other way than
via the 56k. Attempts to call the admin modem from here get me a
squeal and an "all circuits are busy" announcement.
