There are two general issues at this time.

- HSP modems will likely lock the PC when they attempt to connect to a PM3
with ComOS 3.7 with the enlarged V.42bis/LAPM dictionary. Upgrading the
HSP firmware appears to fix the problem.

- K56flex client modems will need to be upgraded to fully compliant K56flex
firmware that started appearing on various modem manufacturers web sites
last week.

Beyond the above, is there a summary of issues, work arounds and fixes? No.

Which interoperability issues are you experiencing with what client modems
on was version of ComOS on a PM3?
