Re: (ASCEND) advise on 7.0.4

[Cindi Patterson <cindi@harborside.com>]

This has been the best code we have used, except that 40%-60% of all 56K
V.90
or K56 modem users *must* update their modem code. 

The good news, if they do, they get a very good connects.  However, if
they
do not, their modem that *before* the update will either not connect,
continually diconnect, or run very slow (1.2K) or so.

Best example, is a Rockwell HFC chip set.
Most USR v.90's do not seem to exhibit this behavior.
