- I have found that the T2500's that have V.42 work OK but the ones with
- only MNP hang the link with US Robotics V.32bis
-
-
- Version GF7.00-T2500SA
-
- Does not work worth _____
-
- Version GE7.03-T2500SA
-
- Works just fine
-
- There seems to be some interaction between the 2 modems that is 'fixed'
- with the 7.03 release, WHose problem I dont know BUT it appears on the
- V.32bis USR modems BUT not on the V.32 ones I've tested.
-
- Sounds like a good reason to get a T2500 upgrade, if you can convince
- them of the problem
