My Platinum is out on loan...my GV 56 is not disconnecting (or doing flex,
but I think that's because the 360-437 switch doesn't allow flex).
Global Village external modems should be used with "Flow Control" set to
CTS Only in the Config PPP control panel or FreePPP Setup applications.
Their captive cable doesn't do well with the CTS & RTS (DTR) setting. [Per
a GV tech support guy who appers often in comp.sys.mac.comm]
For OT/PPP, the modem script from Global Village, not the one from Apple,
should be used (Apple supplies the Global Village script with MacOS8 in the
Additional Modem Scripts installation in the CD Extras folder on the MacOS8
CD). The Platinum should use the "GV 28.8/33.6 for ARA 2.1 OT/PPP" script.
The Apple-written script is very poor.
