- Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but the symptoms mentioned fit very closely
- with the problems I've been having with Gateway Telepath modems, which *also*
- use the Rockwell chipset...I've narrowed it down to, I consistently have the
- problem (NO CARRIER after several minutes into the connection) when I dial into
- modems that are on the far side of a private switch board (remote modem is located
- on a private telephone system, such as for a large company or university). If the
- remote modem is directly on a telco line, then I don't have any problems (since my
- modem is at my house, directly on a telco line...). The line quality is excellent
- (as reported by my modem), and rarely needs to retrain (fallback/fallforward)...
-
- Hope this helps some...if this *is* the same as your problem, then perhaps it's
- the Rockwell chipset that has problems under these conditions?
