Ok; then how do you explain near-constant renegotiations on just about
all real rockwells, even with version 2.200 of the bios (which makes
online gamers so mad you wouldn't believe it - but hey, you try playing
an online session of Quake II and have your link lock solid for 10 secs
in a reneg and see how happy you are...)?=20
Dropped connections across the board on just about all modems out there?
We have a slew of customers complaining about these things, it's not just
a few minor incidents with HCF modems anymore, and I really am running
out of things to blame it on besides the PM-3.
