With 95, if the customer dials in with the "terminal window after dialing"
option turned on, logs in with their ID, password and sends the PPP option
from the menu, then tells windows to continue, we have nearly a 100%
success rate (I saw 1 failed attempt out of the 50 or so that I personally
tried and I think it was a modem compression hiccup) with connections. The
same customers, using the regular 95 authentication, seem to have less than
50% success rate, getting the "couldn't negotiate protocols" error a very
high percentage of the time.
Has this been mentioned here before? If not, does anyone have any ideas
why this would be happening?
Just thought I'd mention it. Thanks in advance for any insights given.
