Cannot Hangup/Always Busy (Re: (ASCEND) Pipeline 75 dying?)
I had a new P75 (S/N: 72xxxx) and I seemed to have the same problem.
In fact, even if I force it to Hang Up via CTRL-D. It will dial
right back to the ISP.

I thought it was due to the recent installation of "IE4.0" with Active
Desktop. I was speculating that somehow the workstations were
sending packets with outbound addresses and therefore causing
the connection to be persistent. If this was so, perhaps, there's
a way to "FILTER" out those packets? Anyone know what "broadcasting"
packets, IE4.0 is sending every 10 seconds or so?
Or Maybe this is not the cause at all?
As one subscriber mentioned this could just be a problem with the
new software update. I did update to version 5.1A to enable NAT
for the LAN to work.

I can still login to the 64K account. But I haven't upgraded to 128K yet.

I am in a worse shape than you on this one. When I am on-line, which is
all the time now due to the aforementioned problem, one of my phone number
becomes unavaialbe (busy) - therefore, I have effectively lost a phone
number. It used to be that the P75 will be smart enough to reassign the
the number to a different B-Channel.
And as I recall, it did work once.
So I also wonder if this is a potential problem with the 5.1A upgrade although
when I looked up the reference manual, there was one paragraph on phone
company (my is Ameritech). It states that if the phone company uses
Northern Telecom's DMS-100 switch. This can happen. So I am confused.
How can it worked at one time?
