So far I haven't had much of a chance to compare and contrast 3.8.2-pwm19
with 3.8.2c2; pwm19 fixed quite a few issues with disconnects though. I'm
still seeing more consistent throughput with our HiPer Access boxes, but it
has been improved substantially on the PM3's with 3.8.2-pwm19 and up (client
modem was a USR Sportster and Courier V.90). I have been having a problem
with some PCMCIA V.90 modems connecting reliably (so far a Xircom and a
Megahertz), but they do eventually connect (to be fair these modems also
have problems connecting to the USR HiPer Access box at speeds greater than
33.6 as well). I also have an IBM Thinkpad 600, which has a built in V.90
modem that will never connect to the PM3's if I have 56k enabled on the
modem; I always have to drop the modem down to 33.6 before it will connect.
The modem has been upgraded to the most recent flash IBM has on their web
site (I know the Mwave's a piece of junk, but I had to mention it). Here's
the ATI responses for the ThinkPad 600 modem:

The description in the Modem control panel is simply "ThinkPad Data Fax
Modem"

ATI1 OK
ATI2 OK
ATI3 IBM Mwave Modem v3.0
ATI4 ThinkPad Enh.
ATI5 IBM Mwave Modem v3.0
ATI6 IBM Mwave Modem v3.0
ATI7 IBM Mwave Modem v3.0
AT+FCLASS=? 0,1,2,8,80

Other than these issues, 3.8.2-pwm19 and 3.8.2c2 are MUCH better than 3.8.2
was. I will run some more tests tonight when I get a chance to see if
there's noticable improvements from pwm19 to 3.8.2c2.
