I'm using a PSION Dacom Gold Card 56k modem with a G3 233 Powerbook
and I find a lot of the time it connects and then complains 
there is no carrier. It sounds like only one of the modems 
(the remote one ?) is doing any handshaking but I couldn't
be sure. This is particularly irritating because
by the time it gives up I have paid for the call :-(.
I also get quite a few dropped connections.

The modem is sold in Australia for Macintosh with a seperate
instruction sheet on how to install it and some modem CCL
scripts on a floppy. 

I get these problems with either OT/PPP or FreePPP 2.6.2.

At the moment I am going back to my 28800 card modem. 
A modem that connects all the time and runs at half
the speed seems more useful!

Last thought - I have two of these, my wife also has one
so it isn't a problem with one particular card. 

Thanks for any info.

Michael

PS Don't tell me its because I haven't got backside cache :-)
