Once upon a time Fraser Campbell shaped the electrons to say...
>We recently upgraded our portmaster from ComOS 3.3.1 to ComOS 3.5.
>Since the upgrade we have been experiencing problems with low-end modems
>connecting
>(ie. 14.4 and lower) - before the upgrade we could connect right down to
>2400 bps no problems.

The PM doesn't have any control over the modem negotiation speeds. That is
up to the modems to decide.

>Another problem is that when dialing in with trumpet winsock *all users*
>get garbage characters after submitting password. Their connects are
>still successful if they hit ESC after the garbage appears

That's normal. That's how Trumpet has always worked. The 'garbage' is PPP,
and hitting ESC tells Trumpet to go into PPP mode and stop displaying it
instead.
