Subject: (usr-tc) v.90 and Other connection Problems
Date: 24 Aug 1999 02:45:17 +03d00
Hello!
This is my first post to the list after reading many of the recent comments in the archives about USR-TC vs. Ascend connect/throughput speed issues. We are a small ISP using two Hiper Chassis, each half populated with HiperDSP cards and all the latest code.
We have definately been dealing with the issue of customer's calling and complaining of slower-than-AOL connect speeds and v90 problems. While I feel validated in my belief that the DSP code is the issue, I need to know when and if this will be resolved by 3Com. Our president is very sensitive to customer's concerns and we are on the verge of ditching the TC's for MAX 6000's.
I dont want to have to do that - I really like this platform, but we have to make these people happy or our business goes bye-bye.
To be fair, at least 75% of our users are OK with their speed, but we know we are loosing business as people buy newer machines with cheap Rockwell/Lucent modems and suffer slower connections. This cannot continue.
Please respond if you have a timeframe for upgrades.

The *best* answer to date seems to be run two racks... and let the problem
customers move to the other rack as they are discovered. I am not gonna
get any more DSP's... but will get an Ascend rack (48 ports) and see what
happens.... it can't hurt.
The 2.* DSP code did do a lot of new stuff.... but it seems that NFAS was
more important than connections and throughput.
FWIW.. I average a 10% call failure rate... probably higher because 3Com
equipment will not log an incoming call failure until it get so far into
the negotiation.... so there are probably a few more NOT getting recored
due to trap errors in the code and the way 3Com views what a failed
connection.

I dont know if it helps, but there is a USR dictionary file that comes with the cistron radius server. You can get it at: http://www.miquels.cistron.nl/radius/
