PE> Rod Speed's Supra - 50% of calls fail with retrain problems,

BG> Ask Rod to disable retrains at his end, not yours.

Its not MY modem asking for a retrain within a second of the
initial connect on every single call. Thats never seen with
anything except a USR, so its got to be the USR doing that.

And that behaviour is completely silly, particularly on a V32bis call.

The main question mark at the moment is whether
that was just a wart in earlier USR flashrom code.

PE> 5. Paul Markham's Netcomm - connections at 26400, 24000, 2400!, 14400.

BG> Lines again?  Dunno, it's extremely unusual to say the least.

Cant be lines if Paul Markham doesnt get that
sort of behaviour calling other systems.

PE> 6. Frank Malcolm's Spirit Thunder - connections at 2400!

Ditto.

BG> Shouldn't be,

But clear is. And you shouldnt get such gross problems, particularly
the 2400 connects, with a very basic modem config from factory.
