I'm using a SupraFax 288 modem. Out of about 75 users, I'm the only
one having the problem. (My users aren't shy! :^) ) I suspected the
modem since I'm the only one in the company with the problem and to
my knowledge, the only one using Supra, however,
changing the "Framed-MTU" to 753 fixed the problem. I don't really know
why, but if anyone can explain it, I'd love to hear it!
