Is the users modem a 3com/USR 56K modem? As I had one user with the same
problem with 3.8b17 where the username was received as random characters. I
tried to troubleshoot with the user by having him turn X2, V90, and finally
both protocols - but he said he didn't want to fool with his computer any
more.

Any ways, I down graded to 3.7.2c3 and still waiting for him to call back.

Guess I'll stay with 3.7.2.c3 until a stable 3.8 is available. But I do
miss useing PPPdecoder and PMvision.
