well I have discovered a few things since I left the last message, I have 
forced my connect to 31200 and I no longer hang.  I believe my problem and 
maybe yours was that my serial port on my computer (or the computer itself) 
cannot handle speeds above 31200.  I found my old service provider only had 
288 modems, the new service provider has 33.6 + so when I connected at 33600 
my computer could only handle the fast speed only so long, then get jumbled 
up and eventually hang or drop carrier.  I do still get the odd drop carrier 
tho only if I am running several internet applications at one time (ie 
browser,ftp,irc) other than that thing have been going smoothly for me. 
 I would check the max serial speed on your system, it may be the source of 
all your problems.
