Ah, that explains it. Not a bug, but an unintended functionality. Well we
can't really blame a company for following the spec's. Of course, I seem
to remember that TCP/IP stacks are full of these kinds of "fixes" so that
"broken" implementations will work. Seems that modem code will soon be (or
already is) full of the some kind of junk in the name of inter-vendor
functionality. Glad to hear that Lucent is working on a fix, I can't
wait...

Cool, this sounds very promising, I'll call my Livingston rep and order me
a card.
Thanks Karl for the information, you are a wealth of help.
