FYI, found this in the INJOY-L list and it seems to have a bearing on the 
current discussion of AT&T worldnet problems. Seems that the IBM DOIP breaks 
with these new modems/configs that AT&T installed. Apperently InJoy is still 
functioning though the new traffic can upset the idle detction system 
tremendously.

To Mike and all other worldnet users on this list:
YOU folks are the lucky ones.....seems that everyone running DOIP found out 
that 
one of these   
            RX: LCP Packet - ID = 9 
would BREAK the connection....so, all happy warpers became UNhappy....
AND, all worldnet users should inform their ISP about how BAD that 
is......think 
about what happens if they figure out how to break InJoy too.....
here is what I got back from the Worldnet-postmaster when I forwarded a 
comp.os.os2.comm post from an *@ibm.net poster, that hours previously had 
been a 
*@worldnet address......

This is the answer I have received from one of our WorldNet specialists:
"It seems the EV units have been updated over the last 2 weeks with a new
release of the software. This release contains changes that cause a bug in
the OS/2 dialer to manifest itself. Our network operations team is aware of
the problem and is working to correct it."

TO Bjarne....you may need to add a switch to make TIMEOUT counters ignore the 
'LCP 
Packet'......
