Yes... We've had the same problem here. We invested many many hours,
spoke to Livingston support but found no answer. What is very interesting
is if you are able to establish a ppp with IPX (ie. Winnt RAS), hang up
and then use the portmaster, if works fine. I'm not sure why this
happens, but that is as close as we've got.

Anyone have any clues???
