It sounds likely that you have come across the key feature of V90; it is
the biggest beta test in the world (apart from, as somebody posted
elewhere, Windows 98).

As the NER and Green are running different V90 code (Ascend and 3Com
respectively) it seems likely that the present USR Sportster V90 code
combined with your line conditions makes for an unhappy connection. You
could try lowering the maximum speed it will try to negotiate, to see if it
will make the connections more reliable. I don't know the relevant string
but it's in the manual of the readmes somewhere.

By the way, you know that putting &W on the end writes the configuration to
the NVRAM in the Sportster, so it's in there for good, or until you write
something else there? So you don't need an init string at all now, or at
worst an ATZ which will take you back to the NVRAM settings.
