Hello All:
I have recently purchased a new USR Sporster 28.8.
Supervisior date is 01/05/95
Supervisior rev is 061-6.0
DSP date is 31/03/95
DSP rev is 11.3
The modem will lock up within the first 10 minutes when connected at 21600 
and with error correction on.
Sometimes it will also lock up when connected at other speed with error
correction on too, but only once in a blue moon.
What I mean by lock up is that the modem doesn't seems to receive anything
anymore.  If anyone send anything over the net via a ppp link, the receiver
of a tcpip packet always send a confirmation.  When the modem locks up, I
don't get any confirmation at all, the send indicator still flashes but it
doesn't seems to receive the confirmation.
Strange but currently, I seems to be able to minimize the chance of
connecting at 21600 by:
a) turn off compression and
b) in windows 95, reduce the size of the FIFO buffers to minimum
What is the best way to go about isolating the problem?
I have a 486 MB with integrated parallel, serial ports and ide controllers.
TIA
