below is my problem. I just had a customer bring their computer system in,
and he gets disconnected about every 3 mintues from the pm3. The modem is
a "modem master 6000/33.6" and uses a no-name chipset. It works fine on
our pm2 hunt group with our sportsters/couriers. We have also had misc.
problems with other modems, including, TI chipsetted 56K modems. We have
many disconnect problems, and also problems with throughput as i've mailed
to the list before. I have posted some cut and paste from the pm3 here. If
anybody could please take a look at what we have here, this is basicly an
out of box unit and not many major changes. We have tried both 3.8b17 and
3.8b15. Our telco is US West and uses a 5ESS Switch. This is over a
channelized T1.
