Simply a form of automatic user identification (similar to or is CHAP)

Try disabling the compression

What is the serial port in the two computers. Does SIO detect it as a good 
cleen 16550AFN or something else? 
These errors are typically data overflow errors and seem to happen whenever 
the system on the other side doesn't bother to use flow control. That happens 
whenever the remote server is running direct modems to a terminal server. It 
seems to happen less to a dedicated modem control box (like a USR rack). 
I fought these errors for almost two years until I installed InJoy and then 
proceeded to watch these errors dissapear. Throughput went up. Stability hit 
an all time high. My provider can't keep my phone line linked more than a few 
dozen hours at a time but InJoy redials and reconnects me before I even know 
I have been down. It can crash, so I have a routine that tests whether it has 
gone south and then kills and restarts it. 
Get InJoy, you'll like it.
