MP>Hi All!
MP> Happy Holidays to you and yours..
MP> I've been having a problem with my Optima 28.8 V.34/V.FC+FAX.
MP> This an external modem that has worked well for years (still does)
MP> Ok, heres the trouble.
MP> I have now an ISDN line installed. There are 3 regular Analog lines
MP> in the house already. The ISDN Modem is an external Motorola Bitsurfer
MP> Pro. It has ports for 2 analog lines on the back. (both work fine)
MP> The Pc is a Pentium 120 with 32 meg HS ports the works. Using Win95,
MP> Dos 6.2 and OS/2 warp.
MP> The Modem is connected to one of the pots ports on the Bitsurfer. I
MP> have the ability to switch the lines to regular analog or the Bitsurfer.
MP>  The Local ISP or BBS or whatever connects fine with the straight Analog,
MP> but, the ISDN pots line takes longer to connect and most times, the Hayes
MP> sends out garbage after a connect on the ISDN pots line. It DOES 
ometimes
MP> work just fine but 85% of the time Junk after the connect.
MP> If I switch to analog line ONLY, SAME setup on the Pc, it connects great.
MP> What gives? I thought ISDN was CLEAN and the analog side would follow.
MP> Do I need a different Init. when the ISDN side is connected? S-registers,
MP> not sure..
MP> Anybody hit on this yet? It looks like a baud rate problem but it will 
work
MP> if you retry enough.. say 9 times in a row. Ports on the pc have been
MP> adjusted up, down, locked, unlocked, called Motorola and the latest flash
MP> rom is in.
MP>  Must be the Hayes?
MP>   Thanx Much,

Mike,
    If the modem consistently works fine on your regular analog line,
but gives inconsistent connections on the ISDN POTS line, then it would
certainly indicate strongly that there may be a problem with the POTS
port, especially since the problem is inconsistent.  The best way to
rule out an issue with the modem (or narrow it down to the modem) would
be to try another modem on the POTS port on your ISDN adapter and see
what happens.  Let us know what you find if you are able to obtain
another modem for testing.
