I have to agree with this statement of Patrick Kormann.
As the modem code is not what it should be ISP's are
forced to try betas. COMOS 3.8b17 was a total
catastrophe for us. We are back to 3.7.2c3.
Stable and ineroperable modem code is a problem since
day 1 of the PM3 especially in Europe. The old modem
cards operated a lot better than the new k56flex cards,
which are now shipping for nearly 1 year if I remember
well.
When will we finally have a good modem code for the PM3?
Another problem is that Livingston also seems to be at least
2 months behind in development compared to their rivals 3COM,
Ascend, Cisco...
The PM3 operates very well for us since we got the first one
but the modem code still isn't what it should be for an ISP.
I hope this will change in near future.
