- The most common reason for getting dropped when netsurfing seems to be
- hardware DTR hangup - if your computer is busy swapping, it can't always
- keep the DTR line to the modem raised, so try the cardinal with this
- feature off (AT&D0) and you might stop getting dropped.

- USR's don't always connect v.34 with other brand modems, ESPECIALLY the
- Vi. When the Vi does connect with v.34, it is almost NEVER with v.42
- error correction. Don't disable v.34 directly though, or you'll connect
- v.32bis (14.4K) Instead, disable v.8. On most USR 28.8's, this is
- S54.7=1. Then you will connect with v.FC (assuming the modem at the other
- end supports both).
