I'm sorry if I missed the early part of this thread where the problem
may have been detailed, but I use a MT2834ZDX (external version) with no
problems whatsoever (COM1).

However I did have a Multitech 2834 PCMCIA (LT I think) which although
made a solid connection each time, dropped to 0cps fter about 30 seconds
and refused to move.

If you need anything with regard to the 2834ZDX (I have the fully
downloaded manual from Multitech BBS not the pocket version that comes
with the modem), I'll be glad to try and help.
