Re: (ASCEND) Establishing P75 connection to ISP takes long time
First of all, *No* it should not take 5 or 6 seconds to establish a
connection. I would guess that this hold up, is caused by the RADIUS
authentication process. I assume they are using RADIUS. They either have
their RADIUS server setup incorrectly, or they have a *very* large list of
users in their users file. And the MAX is having to search through every
single one of them to log you in... We had this problem earlier in the
year, this was fixed by taking all hostnames out of our clients file, and
putting only ip address's.
When you do talk to your ISP about this, ask them if they are using local
authentication or RADIUS, and if RADIUS, ask them if that could maybe be
the problem...
Then again that could have nothing at all to do with it... But thats my guess.

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!
