Once upon a time Stephen Fisher shaped the electrons to say...
>USR modems. From testing with 28.8k (as per ati3) and 33.6k (as per ati3)
>USR Sportsters I have noticed that both start slowing down, freezing, and
>disconnecting within 5-10 minutes in V.42/LAPM mode. They are connecting

Note that USR *DOES* have a bug. We can't do anything about it. This has
been discussed and admitted to on comp.dcom.modems. I believe their latest
code fixes this, but there are a lot of Courier and Sportster modems out
there with botched V.42 code. And it will cause problems. This has been
reported with other vendors too, not just Livingston.

There is no way for us to work around it on our end without breaking V.42
for non-broken modems.
