I think so. The MAX never disables a modem automatically in this way. The only
time the MAX puts a modem on the disabled or unavailable list is when it first
boots up and a modem fails POST (hardware diagnostics). The MAX will put a
modem on the suspect list if it fails 8 calls in sequence (or the first 4
calls
placed to it), and those modems will then be put at the bottom of the pool.
It
is for the administrator to take modems out of service *IF* they determine
that
the modems really are faulty. (There are non-problem reasons that modems
"fail"
calls including failed-authentication, line noise problems....so it's not
deemed appropriate for the MAX to take the step of removing the modem from
active duty).
