Andrey Its good news that the snd-hda-intel update to ALSA 1.0.14, madeyour dial outfunctional. With respect to the the frequent aborts,1) Check that the COUNTRY setting is appropriate 2) read /etc/ppp/options about decreasing the MTU (maximal transfer unit)which helps for noisy lines 3) you can test with a +MS=90added to Init2 , which compensates for some bad implementatioons ofthe default MS=92If that doesn't help, try instead +MS=34 Also read Jacques PostInstall HowTo at http://limodems.technion.ac.il MarvS On 9/13/07, Andrey Patyuchenko <andrey.patyuchenko@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:> Dear Marvin,>> thank you for your reply.
