That would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, and nobody's going to do that. However, there have been problems with the PM3 recently, with some people saying it's a problem in the new ComOS 3.7 (affecting both the old and the new modem cards), and others saying it's a problem with the new K56Flex modem cards and their software in the PM3. It appeared to be mostly a problem with the "cheaper" modems (and hence usually lower quality), and several brands of USR. Last I knew, it was not resolved, although I am nearly a week behind in reading the portmaster-users mailing list. [If you have a PM3 and are seeing problems, I strongly recommend subscribing to the portmaster-users mailing list. Go for the digest version, though, unless you have a good way to automatically separate the incoming mail, as it is an -extremely- active list. Send mail to majordomo@livingston.com for more info on their lists.] One workaround that seemed to be helping some people was setting &K0 in the modem init strings. -- Michael Bryan michael@blueneptune.com
