I yelled at the telco, he took a look at the line, and was like "That's not right. The first channel is 3.1Khz... Let me fix that." As soon as he made the changes, their call came up.

The Ascend is running > software +5.0B+, should this be upgraded from Acends site? Will this help? 5.0B is the biggest bunch of crap. We've had more problems with that version of software than anything else. Upgrade to the 5.1pX series just to be safe. We don't let a single pipeline leave the office here without checking to make sure it's not running 5.0B. > Thank you for any help > > Regards > Terrence Martin > Western Computer Link Joe Shaw - jshaw@insync.net NetAdmin - Insync Internet Services ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg11229.html">(ASCEND) Problems Connecting to Ascend P50</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Terrence Martin <twm139@its.to></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11358.html">(ASCEND) Max 5.0Ap36</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11354.html">(ASCEND) Max 1600 - unenhanced HDLC channel maximum?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11229.html">(ASCEND) Problems Connecting to Ascend P50</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11230.html">(ASCEND) Fatal Error</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#11356"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd261.html#11356"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
