Once upon a time Scott Winders shaped the electrons to say...

Make sure you have 3.7.2. Earlier 3.7 releases could be a bit flaky
with Connect-Info (well, 3.7 - I think 3.7.1 was ok...)

I don't know if it is possible for a modem to renegotiate this level...

>Then I see something really strange like this:
> Connect-Info = "28800 LAPM/MNP5"

Maybe I'm spacing - isn't LAPM error correction and MNP5 compression?

I have to admit I'm not a big modem expert, especially after 1AM. ;-)
