I am trying to get a PC hooked up to a portmaster2e using a 4 wire
connection with 2 blackbox MiniDriver MP linedrivers. I did it on a mac with
a mini driver 15, so I know it should work. The portmaster recognizes the
connection, but shows framing errors. The pc ppp times out during configuration.

The setting options are as follows:

Black Box Line Drivers:

It has 5 applicable dip switches

OPTIONS CURRENT SETTING

1. DCE/DTE DCE
2. RTS/CTS ON/OFF ON
3. Echo on/off OFF
4. Carrier control On/off (controlled by RTS) OFF
5. Impedance Hi/Lo Lo

I currently have the same settings for both drivers.

PORTMASTER Settings
Mode: extended
Port Type: Dialnet
Dialnet Type: Hardwired
Protocol: PPP/IP
MTU: 1500
Baud: 19200
Modem Control: OFF
Flow Control: RTS/CTS
IP Destination: 163.118.5.251
Netmask: 163.118.5.0
Routing: Listen
Compression: Disabled

PC Settings (Trumpet Winsock Settings)
IP: 163.118.5.251
MTU: 1500
TCP RWIN: 2048
TCPMSS: 516
TCP RTO MAX: 60
Demand Load TO: 5secs

Hardware Handshaking: On
Compression: Off

3 options for Online Status Detection:
ppp trace results
1. none conf req times out
2. DCD (RLSD check) nothing happens
3. DSR check conf req. times out

Windows control panel settings:

Baud: 19200
Flow control: Hardware

msd reports:
Baud: 19200
DSR and CTS on

Any Help would be greatly appreciated, since I have many locations which
would benefit from this type of connection, and my experience with the
portmaster and line drivers is limited.
