- I think that I found the problem that I was having here, and it seems
- to be my fault... I will let you all know when S. Sobol tries his Coherent
- system again.
-
- basically, the Intel 2400ex was trying to get "reliable" connections from
- everyone, and if it didn't, it would hang up the phone. Ooops. I added a
- \\N3 (I think) to the modem initialization string, and this seems to have
- done the trick for the Smailpc system (seldon.clv.oh.us).
-
- Since the other two machines that have been dialing into my system have
- been using MNP modems (well... actually a couple Telebit's and a USR dual
- standard), I didn't see the problem previously.
-
- Solved all of this by getting out my trusty VT100 and a vanilla Supra
- 2400 modem, and dialing in by hand. I wasn't getting a CD (carrier detect)
- light on the Intel modem, even though the Supra thought that it did.
- A bit of trial and error, and I found the switch for the MNP.

- Coherent may... it might just be your modem :-). Give it another go,
- and lets see what we get!
