- I haven't actually had to take a trip out to the college to correct
- one of the lockups on the 1.61 ROMs yet. Simply sending the modem an
- ATZ seems to correct the problem. The problem with doing that, you
- gotta know the modem is locked up, and take the time to reset it.

- I've been overwhelmed with complaints from faculty and students about
- the lines "not working." Mostly because they just ring&ring, and
- people think since the lines are configured with auto-rollover, it
- should rollover.

- My boss insisted that we try another brand, so I'm trying out four
- USRobotics Sportster 33600/Fax modems now, and I haven't been real
- pleased with them either. They will answer, but refuse to send/receive
- any data with the host on the first connect, you have to hang up and
- call back to get a login prompt.
-
