Hi Steven,

Boy am I glad I retained the following message of yours!
For the past couple of years I have had an ISDN connection [just a 
single 64KB BRI-channel] here - the Network Termination Unit [includes a 
digital "modem"- ADCDAC] came with both RS232C and also USB 
connectors, supposedly - according to the thick printed manual and all 
electronic documentation [CD & www], both give equivalent 
all-digital-path performance for 64KB, USB only has an advantage when 
128KB multilink PPP, as that exceeds usual 115,200 UARTs.  After about a 
year the initial NTU packed it in, and was replaced by the Telco, that 
one only lasted about 8 months, and since then there have been a further 
two replacement units!  In addition to having an ISP who didn't actually 
support ISDN per se, just allowed me to connect at 64Kb as per my 
previous PSTN Dialup account, AU$9.90/month capped at AU$23.90, I also 
didn't have any other USB equipment until very recently, when I found a 
512MB Legend [identified by the USBRES as an Apacer] PenDrive Pro for 
AU$115 + s&h, so never really bothered about checking out the USB 
connectivity until about an hour ago - we'd had about 7"-8" rain/flash 
flooding day before yesterday [Tuesday evening here] and I was getting 
carrier drops on my associated voice line, as well as virtually zero 
inbound or outbound rates with it conected via RS232C on COM1!

Found out that eCSConet from e.g. eCS 1.x just would not recognise the 
USB connectivity to the NTU, even after dropping the SIO2K in favour of 
IBM's current COM/VCOM.sys, and appending /N:COM3, so back again with 
the old standby my SOHO InJoy 2.30 from Sept 1999! Immediate 
connectivity and a lot smoother too!

I guess I could try it out also with my original SIO 1.60D drivers, then 
I'd also have the PMLM etc working again!

So thanks again Steven, your post from last July 30th [here] came in 
exceptionally handy!! I hadn't seen anything about switches for that 
driver on any of my past forays.

BTW what dialler are you using with that phone's modem?
