- I've had the same problem. And I don't think it's a memory problem, I've got
- 64 megs under 95 w/ nothing but eudora running while online.
-
- In any case, if the USR 33.6k Sportster loses the PPP connection
- (for any reason) it'll refuse to dial-out.
-
- Sometimes the CTS light goes nuts thinking it's getting a signal.
- Other times, on attempting to dial-out, the modem gets the dialtone,
- then *stops* and re-dials. The excuse - "No dialtone".
-
- A win95 shutdown-all-programs-and-logout doesn't work. Neither does
- a reset. The only sure method is to powerdown. Sometimes if I
- go into Procomm Plus and continuously keep doing atz's (through which
- the CTS light's going nuts) I'll finally obtain control of the modem.
-
- And this is with the .INF file supplied by USR via their ftp site, win95
- on a fairly quick P75 system. My personal PPP connection is to my
- USR 33.6k DS on a NeXTStep PPP server. The other PPP dialins
- are to the university, so brandname is unknown.
-
- Any ideas?
