Is this better modem code than 3.8.2c?
Doc looks like it should be:
* Modem code fixes:
- 3Com modem connections are now more reliable.
- U.S. Robotics (USR) Telepath V.34 modems can now establish Link Access
Procedure for Modems (LAPM) error correction. Previously under certain
conditions, the modem was choosing too high a connection rate and was
unable to establish LAPM error correction. The modem code now detects
these conditions and forces the connection speed down by one rate to
allow LAPM to be negotiated.
- For modems with Rockwell Semiconductor Systems (RSS) K56flex chipsets,
fast rate changes now work properly. Previously, a retrain was forced
after a rate change. (RSS is now Conexant Systems Inc.)
- For all modems, retrain detection has been improved to prevent some
client disconnections.
- In the presence of LAPM retransmission errors, the modem code retrains
to
allow the link to adjust to a lower speed and improve throughput.
- The modem code now suspends LAPM transactions during any rate changes
or retrains and thereby eliminates some connection failures,
connections without error control, and some disconnections.
