We fixed the 14.4 connect problem by loading 5.0ai13. The only difference I can readily see is an extra tone heard before the connect sequence. The 14.4 modems for some reason hears this tone as something else and never starts its handshaking (my speculation). After lodaing i13 the tone went away and the 14.4 on our bench connected every time (as well as all the other 14.4 customers who kept our support lines busy). I don't know if it has helped the dropped connections yet though. We have had a lot of complaints since adding the 56k modems.
