- We have several problems with Rockwell based chipsets. We highly
- recommend that you get the "Aptiva Service CD" from Aptiva service.
- There is a modem level on that CD that works around several of the
- V.34 spec violations by Rockwell. These spec violations are
- particular severe in their first generation chip sets released early
- last year. If you think you are connecting to a service provider
- using Rockwell chip sets, we recommend adding "*TH6%E1" to your init
- strings on the Mwave modem.
-
- We also know of one problem that we have with USR modems during rate
- renogiation. We have been working with USR to resolve. In general,
- however, we have excellent connectivity with USR based modems.
-
- We have no known problems with Motorola modems.
-
- We found one problem with AT&T chipset that is only present in one of
- their upgrade flashes. We worked with AT&T and worked aroung the
- problem in the service CD level of code and AT&T released new flash
- upgrades to their customers as well. The most common OEM with this
- chipset is MultiTech. If you own a multitech and suspect you might
- have a problem, you could contact Multitech for a flash upgrade. The
- problem is known as "Missing S_BAR during Phase 4".
