Brian,
I have this problem with some of our customers also. Is this a problem with the
modem (setup wrong) or is it that the modem is just 'junk'? (using GVC 28800
modems.) It seams that this happens most of the time when customers get a bunch
of "COMM ERROR"s within Trumpet...and after a few...the port locks up and the
customer has to shutdown the connection (modem) and redial.
Did I overlook something when I set up the modems on the PM???????
