  20. Hi, I discovered some nagging disconnects reported as "disconnect via front
  21. panel" on my Telebit Fastblazer 8840, particularly with transfers using
  22. Kermit and small packets.
  23.  
  24. It turns out that 3 factors caused this situation:
  25.  
  26. The "disconnect via front panel" reason can also apply to disconnections via
  27. EIA test leads
  28.  
  29. EIA test leads are enabled *by factory default*
  30.  
  31. I was using 25 pin cables
  32.  
  33. Thanks to Mark Riley of Open Systems for the suggestion of AT*L0 to disable
  34. EIA test lead functionality.
  35.  
  36. WHY would any manufacturer enable EIA test leads by factory default?
  37.
