(ASCEND) Establishing P75 connection to ISP takes long time



Im using a Pipeline 75 for internet access with static IP adressing. 

It is working fine with one exception - it takes 5 to 6 seconds to connect to the ISP.

The ISP is using Ascend equipment at their end (MAX. I do not know the exact model and software release yet - hoping that the big ISP company will provide me with that info SOON!!!)

I have tried many, many different configurations (turned on and off most features that can be configured in the P75 including different compression schemes, PPP-MPP, etc.), but none
of this made no difference.

I have noticed that the CRC: field in the 20-300 'WAN Stat' box increments by 1 or 2 each time the P75 connects to the ISP. This happens between the Call Connected message and the LAN Session Up message. It seems that there is a problem during that stage in the connection. I believed that it might be a bit-failure in the ISDN connection and therefore had the Telco check it out. Their testing equipment states that there is not a single bit failure on the ISDN line!

Im sick and tired of this and have started to dream at night of other router brands (last time was a ACC Congo Voice Router...help...).

Is this behavior of the P75 connection acceptable or normal? Ive seen other people having a connection time near 1 second using other routers.

Does anyone have a clue?
