hiya - we've recently upgraded our modem to a 56K lucent based
winmodem that I have working sort of ok with the beta drivers from
linmodems.org. I say sort of as I seem to be having more frequent
dropouts than we were having on our ISA 56K modem (which blew up
recently unfortunately).
we're getting in the region of two to five dropouts a day where the
original ISA modem would stay connected at 56K happily for days at a
time (weeks even?)
any ideas as to how to improve reliability would be appreciated...
TIA - dan.
ps. here's some stuff from my log files around the time of a couple
of connections, disconnection and reconnection:
