RC>PM> LT>It seems to happen when a caller drops carrier while connected
RC>PM> LT>to the BBS. The modem stays off-hook and the display cycles as
RC>PM> LT>if a 300 baud caller was online, with the display showing a
RC>PM> LT>"3" for connect speed. The modems will stay like this and will
RC>PM> LT>not reset until I manually turn them off and then back on. Any
RC>PM> LT>ideas as to what could be causing this? The setup string I

RC>PM>         odd thing is that I have yet to have it happen here, 
RC>PM>         so its hard to fix what I can't duplicate.  I do have
RC>PM>         S30=90 set here.  S30 (if all is working correctly) 
RC>PM>         causing the modem to disconnect after a certain period
RC>PM>         without data movement...in this case 15 minutes).
RC>Patrick, i've also had this happen (about 15 times) on my bbs since
RC>upgrading my supra external to the latest data pump and beta flash.
RC>Version 17 was better... I just put version 18 on last night...maybe
RC>it will be better. I'll try the S30 setting also.
        The 15 modems here on the BBS were still running fine with
        the -18 code this morning.
