Also to add to this (I am using P130 myself) the P130 appears to think it
actually has a connection, so it doesn't try and dial again which is very
annoying! The interesting thing is that when talking to another Ascend
this doesn't happen, but when talking to the Livingston it does. Strangely
enough I would say it's an Ascend problem, but why only when talking to a
Livingston 5BRI card.. Go Figure...
