'Could not negotiate a compatible set of network protocols...'; Windows 95
uses this message for everything. What's probably happening in this case is
that the DTE speed between the modem and the PortMaster gets out of synch
and rebooting the portmaster reasserts the DTE speed. The same could be
accomplished by resetting the ports.
