Re: Re: (ASCEND) Motorola Lifestyle 28.8 issues.




Before you toss out your Lifestyle, check whether it is RAM or ROM based
[see the earlier postings!]  Do an ati3, if it says RAM, call Motorola and
get it replaced, if it says ROM, check your init strings!!!!

I think I may be entering this discussion late but I wonder if this
explains something I have been seeing.  I have a Lifestyle 28.8 modem and
I am using it over an ISDN line (meaning I am using the pots line of a
bitsurferpro) and I get periods when everything stops.  I thought it was
pretty odd since the maxen are talking to the phone network via Ts and
fiber and I have digital service to my house but I really have not put
much effort into looking into this.  On the other hand, none of my
customers have complained of anything like this but not that many people
have the Lifestyles modem.
I think it's time I try a Cardinal 28.8 or a Sportster or something... I
wonder if the mysterious problem goes away.  The only person I know of at
my ISP having problems with dialup connections, as funny as this is, is
one of the owners, me. Go and figure...
