I thought I was being smart by buying the creme of the crop courier 33.6
modems to replace some of my sportsters. I set them up like the
manufacturer recommends (at&f&h2&i2&b1&k1&m4s2=255s0=1) with dip switch 3
and 8 on (I am running Picasso with a 2.0.14 kernel, latest ppp and
(yeah, shame on me, uugetty) running off a rocketport. I thought you could
hang these babies and walk away - not in my case, obviously. uucp
accounts now hang the modems when they disconnect (my uucp accounts NEVER
have given me a problem with connections in the past), customers are
having extreme difficulty connecting - what gives? Point me in the right
direction here because I really don't understand why this modem is not
working!!! (And I was so impressed that they actually listed Linux in
their documentation!). Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah, I thought I remembered the list saying something about dropping
DTR, but when I search the mailing lists, it says it finds it (4 hits)
but when I pull up the email it has nothing to do with what I was
searching on.

We use both Sportsters and Courier 33.6k's here and have for years.
They're working flawlessly for us. Two things though:
A> Setup string. It's EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, we use:
AT&F1
ATM0&K3S0=1S2=255
AT&W
Try that, and see if it helps.
B> We're using Livingston Portmaster 2E30s, they're the best, and they
may be eliminating any problems you might be experiencing. I HIGHLY
recommend them.
P.S. If anyone needs USR Dual Standard V.Everything Couriers, we've got a
small stack of them going for $200 apiece. We're switching to all rack
mount modems, and the Couriers don't work in the rack. <GRIN> Sysop/ISP
price on these is currently $285, so this is a helluva deal. :)
