John, Try an Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +MS=34 if that works try Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 The default +MS=92 compression is Not well implemented at some IPs. Also should you have a noisy line, lower compression will help. We have had a report of that curing a manifest "No carrier" problem. This "No carrier" message may be in some cases a bug. With my VIA modem, slmodemd supported, there is a "No carrier" message althrough the CONNECTion and PPPD is established.
