- Yup, I've got one of those and the problem sounds horribly familiar.
- I've had exactly the same problem connecting to my service provider!
- Current connection record 16min 42s! After the first connection the problem
- gets steadily worse until it won't connect, or drops the line immeadiately.
-
- I'm using the following init string: AT&F1&C1&D2 which seems to give longer
- conn. times. I also find that the connection lasts longer with text based
- stuff such as E-mail etc. than withy internet www stuff (much higher transfer
- rates). I think there must be a fault with the modem hardware - maybe it warms
- up - I believe the US Robotics sportstar had/has similar problems.
-
- Anyone got some ideas?
