- Summary: ..my courier must always retrain upon connect!

- OK,
-
- Heres the scoop. I have a USR courier flashed to the latest 33.6 US ROM, and I
- cannot connect *anywhere* without it doing a retrain.
-
- This is the sequence: dial, connect, CD goes high, MR goes high, ARQ goes high
- (all simultaneously) , then ARQ goes low, MR goes low, MR goes high, ARQ goes
- high (one by one).
-
- During this 'retrain' process, the brain dead WIN 95 DUN dialer still tries to
- connect, assumes that PPP is not the right protocol, and tries to use NETBEUI,
- (which I disabled), and it gives me a "PROTOCOL" error, and then will refuse
- to connect using PPP until I restart win 95. Crap! I'm forced to use the dial
- up scripter app, and I configured a script to allow keyboard use, and it just
- sits there and waits until the modem retrains and then I have to login
- manually. That works at least.
-
- USR gave me a few init strings to try, but it seems that I'm getting hit with
- some nasty bler counts (via ATI6). At least the courier retrains to 28.8
- 99 percent of the time. :)
-
- Any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed.
