- I recently put up seven of the new USR 33.6 Sportsters on my terminal
- server. As it turns out, two of them seem bad, and one is a bit
- iffy. The two bad ones will consistently see a lot of retrains
- and a steadily declining link speed, declining to 21K or so within
- a half hour, if they don't cut the user off first. The iffy one
- did the decline, but managed to get itself back up to 28.8 when
- talking to another 28.8 Sportster, although it still retrained
- every couple of minutes and had quite a few Blerrs.
-
- All of these modems have the 10/18/95 ROMs.
-
- Is anyone else experiencing this sort of problem?
