- What brand of modem are you using and what brand is your ISP
- using? Most likely your ISP is using US Robotics (USR). I use a
- Supra V34 modem while my ISP is using USR modems. I had a
- similar problem until Supra updated their FLASHROM code to
- help the Supra make, and keep, connections with the
- bastardized USR modem protocols. :-) I'd suggest following
- up on this as a possible cause.
