- The problem: My external USR Sportster 28.8/33.6 inevitably hangs up on
- me when I call my ISP (not Prodigy :). I can connect, login, then in a
- short while (under a minute) after I start doing any transfers, I'm
- disconnected.
-
- The setup: I've got a P75 with 16 MB RAM, a 16550 UART on COM4, running
- Win95 using Dial-Up Networking. Here's my ATI7 results:
-
- Configuration Profile...
-
- Product type US/Canada External
- Options V32bis,V.FC,V.34+
- Fax Options Class 1/Class 2.0
- Clock Freq 92.0Mhz
- Eprom 256k
- Ram 64k
-
- EPROM date 10/18/95
- DSP date 10/18/95
-
- EPROM rev 1.1
- DSP rev 1.1
-
- Notes: It's obviously something about this modem. I say this because (1)
- This is the second modem of this exact kind which has given me these
- problems; (2) My phone lines are fine - I can connect at 28.8 reliably,
- and the Sportster Vi I had before this gave me no such trouble (Note:
- don't respond and tell me to get the Vi back, I hated it for other
- reasons); (3) I connected to my ISP under Linux and had the same problems;
- and (4) I have friends with 28.8s who connect to the same ISP with no
- trouble.
-
- It would be reassuring to hear from anyone else who's had the same
- problems, and hopefully, some solutions. Thanks in advance.
