^^^^^ that should be +ms=11,1,14400,33600 or +ms=11,0,...

You should upgrade when you can!

HSP modems really need the latest drivers...

Hmm, hope you have a trouble ticket listing frequency of crashes with the
particular Beta...

On one box b20 is on 8 days, the other c6 going on 31 days...

Don't see anything wrong on it, except Telco claims we can do ISDN, but
the couple of people who have tried haven't been able to get a login
prompt, except for once... though I can call out on either PM3 and get
back into either PM3 and authenticate... *shrug* I'm not worrying about
this until K56Flex and new ComOS is loaded...
