Yes the modem can adjust to that, but the idea is that I feel the DTR drop out
needs to be higher or ajustable so that when it drops dtr WITHOUT it being a
person logging out that the modem will not disconnect them. From what I am
seeing, the PM's DTR is dropping and the modem is then disconnecting
the person. But I have no written proof on this since the main thing I am going
off of is the modems ATL8 which tells me the reason for the last disconnect.

Has anyone else been seeing anything along these lines???
