Lucky you. Some of us have to run the broken 3.8 code because we had
foolishly said to our users that we would do V.90 like the rest of our
competitors.
ComOS 3.8.2 does *nothing* to address the E1 PRI signalling issues, it
fixes <gasp> V.32 modem code (among other things).

Good choice, it's very stable. I think it's the best version of ComOS
ever apart from it lacking V.90 and some of the other nice features of 3.8

This happens with me under 3.8, but under 3.8.2 it reboots itself instead
of just flapping the PRI which is better I suppose. What are your
experiences with 3.8.2?

Odd. The only thing I have seen like this is when I got an engineering
version of 3.8 to test and it was missing the modem code (it was a sort of
patch rather than a full ComOS image). Where did you get your copy of
ComOS from and what version was it?

Don't even bother with that. Just hard reboot the portmaster, it should
clear the fault quicker than phoning C&W.

September actually (when ComOS 3.8 came out). I've been trying to get
this sorted since December but no joy so far. I was promised a fix
within x hours last week (where x < 100), but again we have nothing.
I'll have to go and get my LART (Lucent Attitude Re-adjustment Tool)
sharpened again. :-)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that's all I've had for the last 2
months.
