Sorry I did not specifiy who's doing the calling. It would be the Pipeline dialing into an ISP which uses PMs. What you state here is what I read in the manuals and release notes which also (not supprisingly) supports what I see, namely no calls due to DBA. Unfortunately (perhaps not) most users cannot configure their ISPs equipment to call them back for additional bandwidth. I hate the fact Livingston does not implement BACP, but it make matters worse when other vendor's equipment can do DBA without BACP. I don't understand the limitation imposed by Asscend to use MPP or MP+BACP to get DBA, when neither of these protocols (MPP or BACP) are necessary. All that is needed is a rule of when to add more bandwidth, and when it is met dial out and establish another channel. This seems simple enough. What I'm looking for is a solution, other than the obvious get a new ISP. ;) ;----------------------------------------------- cwd ; "Do or do not. There is xor ax,dx ; no try."
