Hello all,

I recently purchased an external modem.  It is a Best Data V.92 external modem.
 My ISP is earthlink.  I dissable compression through the modem init string
giberish appears inside the interactive ppp session (I assume it is expecting
some sort of software compression?).  I can connect with user PPP if I enable
modem hardware compression (the modem negotiates v44.bis).  When I connect with
compression I start getting large numbers of HDLC errors and I can hardly send
or recieve any traffic.  If I connect the modem in question to a WinXP machine
all is well.  Could someone with some experience in these matters help me sort
this out?

CC me.  I am not on -questions mailling list.

thanks in advance,
Galen Sampson
