 IS> Ben, I see from another message that you have a Simplemodem 288F V.FC.
 IS> What does your user that's having trouble use, do you know? 

No I don't know but it is a Rockwell based modem I know that for sure.

Yeah it came through with MNP4 no compression.

 IS> I then tried for LAPM + V.42bis, and got:

Same here.

Ok here is my stored profile and active profile.

As you can see fairly standard the only difference for the original is the S95
register.

Below is the firmware revision number.

ati3
V1.000-AS39 VFC

Below is the modem id string

ati4
Simplemodem V1.000.00

And here is the data pump model and internal code.

ati6
RC288DPi Rev 05BA

The main problem my system had before i started getting the good reliable 
connects was that my phone line was very bad the guy from telstra came buy and
fixed up the lines and now I get mostly to my sydney poll 28.8k.

Hope this helps.
