Depending on which client modem, PPP stack, the occasional
user who just turns off their modem to hang up and of course

Some of the Call Circuit Closed can be thought of as Normal.

If you can pinpoint a user who is having disconnect problems,
Open a ticket with Lucent Tech support and they can retrieve
logs for the modem team to investigate.
