Ugh, as typical, I remember a post about quake playing users, who seemed
to have this problem, but have lost that post... I'm beginning to wonder
if the PM3 is getting poisoned by some string that causes it to 'hang' a
port... or a wait for a lost response or ACK from the client's machine.

Which Global Village modems? Most times I drop the BAUD rate of the
dialler to eliminate overruns on the clients end... seems that the GVs
don't handle well, so the Gold version shouldn't have higher than 19200 in
the Mac PPP dialer...
Just a thought...
