Apologies if this question has been asked (and answered) before. Couldn't find any references to it. I recently flashed my USR Sportster Flash to V90. Since then, when I connect to the green romp or the "proper" supported V90 number (sorry, I forget what the number is) the connection seems to drop after 10-15 mins. The "receive" bars on the activity monitor are down to 0, although the "send" bar shows periodic activity, as if the computer is sending some sort of request to Demon, but never gets a reply back. Mac 4400, system 7.6.1, FreePPP 2.6.x (I think), USR Sportster Flash (flashed to V90 2 days ago) with AT&D0&w as the init string, specified in FreePPP. Anyone can shed any light on this? Any suggestions/bright ideas will be greatly appreciated Regards, SEG

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. >AT&D0&w 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. -- Peter
