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 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
