Anyway they are Digicom S.P.A. Leonardo V34, upgraded
to V34+ using the last release of their prom sw.
Ayway the active profile for those modems follows...
Maybe they can have some microcode bugs?
Is it convenient to augment the idle time between a
disconnection and answering to a new call?
We used previously this modems without any problem at all.
And sure we had this kind of problems _before_ upgrading prom, too.
