I meant that to say (as it was intrepreted by the poster) that
the user "doing it right" doesn't have any digital calls coming into
his system (ie: he's only accepting analog modem calls). This makes
his system less likely to have failed MPP calls, since most analog
callers use one channel (with obvious exceptions - Shotgun, etc). Still
his exposure to failed MPP calls is significantly lower if he has
analog-only callers into his system.
I hate to tippy-toe around like this - bottom line is that the
code is broken for all practical purposes and it needs to be fixed - NOW.
V.90 is a high-demand item. ISPs using Ascend gear are dead in the
water waiting for stable code. It's a shame that Ascend can't release
5.0Ap52 (or something) which uses 5.0ApXX base code with v.90 modem support.
5.0ApXX code has been stable and working for a while.
