- Client has a strange problem. He has a Dell P90 Latitude, Windows 95 and a
- Xircom CEM 28.8 modem/network card. All works fine except when he tries
- to call his office computer on a 800 number. The office pc is a Pentium,
- Windows 95, USR Sportster 28.8. When calling the 800 number, the laptop
- sends a packet, gets a packet back from the office pc, continues to send
- 5 or 6 more packets to the office but never gets another reply back from
- the office pc and eventually disconnects. The weirdness is that this 800
- number connects to a jack that is also a local number. Dialing in on the
- local number works every time. Dialing into the 800 number with other
- pc's/modems works fine. Also replacing the Xircom with a Megahertz 14.4
- pc card modem and dialing the 800 number works fine. The Xircom modem
- is using OEM3.INF file for Windows 95. I assume that we need to revise
- a register setting in the Xircom but am at a loss at where to begin.
