I also use Zoo Internet who use (I believe) Ascend but I dont think they
have started with Ascend TNT but I could be wrong.

Using standard Windows 95 DUN I always connect to Zoo first time (unless
the line is engaged which is usually a tel co problem) with Demon it
often falls over at login, I'd guess once every 5 connections on
average.

Frequently with Demon I lose carrier and Win 95 asks me if I want to
redial about 1 in 3 calls of over 10 mins. This also happens with Zoo
but much less often, say 1 in 10 calls.

However I experience the loss of modem activity equally with both ISPs.
I run NetMedic and can see the very uneven data flow, which is most
obvious when downloading news or using ftp. This only started happening
in the last few months and maybe down to my 3400 being one of the early
ones into the UK and thus a bit knackered.

What *I* would really like to see is Demon and Ascend publish a short
list of 56k modems they are sure to support between now and Jan 1 2000.
This would make it much easier for those of us thinking of buying new
faster modems to sort out the hype from reality.
