Yep. I still have occasional problems getting stuck at "Password:" or
"network death" occurring during a connect, both on 8666 and 8668. They
are usually resolvable by forcing the modems to retrain by lifting a
handset on the line and pressing a few buttons.

However, are these problems confined to 3400s, or are they more general?
For instance, I see people with Mod Tech modems complaining about
similar things.

One thing for sure, anyone's whose normal use of Demon is simply to
connect and upload/download mail and news may well never experience
"network death", because it definitely occurs at points when there is a
natural interruption of the data flow. For instance, if I start browsing
whilst news is downloading, then I will often notice that the connection
will have "died" immediately after the news download is complete.
