Hi Thomas,

Your previous suggestions seem to have worked. The modem now answers and
accepts connections. Thanks a bunch. :) What you say above also seems true.
When I change the 1, 2 and 3 speeds to 57600 or 115200, it answers but the
client can't communicate with the portmaster. The client eventually drops
the connection (complaining that it couldn't communicate with the remote
side) and the modem attached to the portmaster hangs offhook for a few
minutes before resetting. Could there be another reason for this, besides
the fact that they're USR 33.6's?

Also, what should I set the session-timeout to disable it? I don't want a
session to ever be disconnected at a set time limit. Setting it to 0 seems
causes the client to be disconnected in about a minute with the termination
cause being the session-limit.

Thanks!
