We're seeing the same thing and we haven't upgraded out cards yet, just the
ComOS to 3.7. I also seem to be having more problems with MWAVE's than
with b20 (even with the patch applied for the MWAVE). As a whole, I like
3.7 better than 3.5.1b20, but I'm a little concerned about the disconnects
with certain modems. I ran the radlog utility, and actually the disconnect
percentage is down from around 18% (3.5.1b20) to 12% (3.7). That looks
promising, but it seems that each new ComOS brings on its own pecular
problems with different brands of modems...
