- Recap: Connecting via PC Anywhere with internal 33600 Sportster.
- Getting random disconnects. Tried S15=128. It _seemed_ to work like
- magic. That was last week. Back to random disconnects this week.
-
- I tried disabling 3429 rate (S33=32). I also tried S33=48. I also tried
- S33=56. At S33=60, I couldn't connect at all.
-
- I set the maximum rate to 19200 (&N10) and "floor" connect to something
- less (I think 9600 with &U6). The connection seemed solid. I tried an
- upload and a download of about 890K. It worked. Previously, all
- attempts at downloads had failed and I was disconnected (Link Timeouts, I
- believe). The downloads had started OK but then slowed to a virtual
- crawl (many seconds would go by without an update in the # of bytes
- transferred). But at 19200, it seemed OK, although the download took
- 4:20 compared to the upload of 3:50.
-
- I went into our system email (DaVinci) and was composing an email when I
- was abrubtly disconnected.
-
- Here's the ATI6 results, with a _new_ disconnect reason (new to me).
