(usr-tc) Quad Analog Modem Problems
by Aaron Daniels 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

Hi, I am having problems with some Quad Analog modem cards that I have installed, I cannot get them to stay active I do set modem s49 active and it all appears to work, then I save and reset then I get whats below. the modems report A/I/P then after a reset they go A/A/P but I cant get them A/R/P. Basically the modem is not active because it cannot successfully negociate with the packet bus(I think). after a reset my syslog reports: Apr 28 14:05:19 dialup9.dataheart.net S49 packet bus handle opened. Handle = 26. After this the netserver reports the modem as active all though there is still no HDLC Framing and the interface is still set to Unassigned instead of ptp49 as it usually is. then 30 seconds later: Apr 28 14:05:49 dialup9.dataheart.net S49 packet bus failed to connect! stat=-1 Apr 28 14:05:49 dialup9.dataheart.net S49 packet bus handle closed. now the netserver reports it as inactive again. I have Quad Digital/Analog cards working fine in the same chassis but these Quad Analogs are just not co-operating. any help would be appreciated, the 3com knowledgebase has not helped me.

(usr-tc) Total Control Opinions
by Robbie Wilson 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

I am currently using pm3's and due to their untimely EOL I am considering a Total Control 1000. How do you like yours? Is it stable? Do users get good connect rates/ have trouble connecting/disconnecting?

(usr-tc) [Fwd: V.92: USR/3Com blows random quadrupeds]
by Ronald Kushner 05 Jun '01

05 Jun '01

Found this on a newsgroup tonight. Any thoughts? -Ron -------- Original Message -------- Subject: V.92: USR/3Com blows random quadrupeds Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 17:12:07 -0500 From: Matt Black <albedo0(a)hotpop.com> Organization: And Now This Newsgroups: chi.internet I hadn't been paying any attention to this until just now, but it looks like 3Com/USR has been f--king up royally when it comes to making its analog modems compatible with V.92. First of all, most owners of USR V.90, x2, and V.34 modems, even late models, are just plain SOL with regard to flash-ROM upgrades, because relatively few existing USR modems will be upgradeable to V.92. That includes the Courier V.everything external, model 2806, of which 3Com has sold zillions and which still appears to be a current product (at least it's shown on the USR web site, with a list price). It seems that for most customers, USR's response is going to be "Sorry, but you'll have to buy a new modem instead." Of course, they'll probably give you a $50 trade-in allowance on your perfectly good $250 modem. Assholes. Second, apparently 3Com or USR has decided not to implement V.44, the better compression algorithm that supersedes V.42bis and that was approved along with V.92. USR is doing V.92, but not V.44. Third, there's at least one bad bug in one 3Com V.92 product, the Sportster model 5686. All of this is from Richard Gamberg's fabulously good modem pages at <http://808hi.com/56k/>. Specifically: V.92 news & updates: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92s.htm> USR V.92 bug: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92bug.htm> Additional questions for USR: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92q.htm> More on USR V.92 upgrades: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92usrc.htm> V.92 overview & background: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92.htm> Fortunately, V.92 shouldn't be that big a deal, because it doesn't contain anything that's really essential for most people. So judging by what I've seen so far, if you have a USR V.90 modem, you should probably stick with it and not try for V.92 unless you really need call waiting or the 48kb/s upstream speed. And keep in mind that you may never get V.44 from USR at all. So when it comes to V.92 modems, a different manufacturer probably deserves your business more than USR does at this point. Which is something I never thought I'd say. (I bought my first USR modem in 1990, and I've been a fan of Couriers forever.) BTW, on the earlier subject of badly-designed web sites that have too much flash, too many large images, and not nearly enough substance, I have to say that <http://www.3com.com> takes the grand prize. I hadn't known that usr.com is still the place to go for information, manuals, and downloads for USR modems, so a few days ago I tried 3com.com first. What a totally f--ked-up site. That gets my nomination for an award for the most bloated, useless, annoying, pointless, and time-wasting corporate web site in existence. The consultants who constructed that huge pile of shit should be taken out and shot, pro bono publico. I mean, *everything* is wrong with it. If you use a high-bandwidth connection then you might not notice it so much, except for the extreme difficulty of actually finding any information among the site designer's collection of vacation photos. But try it from a dialup connection if you want to get the full effect. Man, what a nightmare. - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) Changing IP Pool
by Michael J. Hartwick 02 Jun '01

02 Jun '01

Hi, we have a Hiper box that we have been adding some DSP cards to. My problem is extending the IP pool to cover the extra ports. Currently there are 4 DSP's with 2 more to be added today. They are using PRI's, but I want to put 24 IP's per DSP into the ARC. I currently have 1 pool defined as: Name Address Size InUse State Route Status pool1 xxx.xxx.xx.112/C 96 24 PUBLIC NO_AGGREGATE ACTIVE I want to change it to start at .64 and have 144 addresses. I think the best way would be to define 3 pools: .64/26 size 64 .128/26 size 64 .192/28 size 64 I even tried to just change the start address and pool size and the thing complains. > set ip pool pool1 iniTIAL_POOL_ADDRESS xxx.xxx.xx.64/C size 144 CLI - Request SET IP POOL failed on field INITIAL_POOL_ADDRESS CLI - Request failed with error: BAD_VALUE on value: 0.0.0.8 > Any suggestions?

(usr-tc) MacOS 7.1 and ConfigPPP
by network-lists＠gwi.net 31 May '01

We're running into an odd problem switching customers from dialing into PM3's into TC1000's. All of our MacOS 7.1 customers using ConfigPPP are unable to connect. They all consistantly fail with 'PPP-LCP-Failed' as the reason. Mucking about with the LCP options in ConfigPPP only serves to fustrate us and the customers. Anyone else run across this?

(usr-tc) Routing a subnet to an ISDN dialup customer
by Scot Desort 31 May '01

31 May '01

OK gang, this is new territory for me, so be gentle. I wish to route a /27 network to an ISDN dialup customer. Currently, this TC has a /24 block assigned to it for dynamic dialup. I will be using a /27 out of a different /24 block. What configuration steps do I need to take on the TC to allow it to assign this block to this dialup customer? Note that I am not running RIP. This customer will ALWAYS hit this particular TC, so there is no need to announce the route. I will manually route the block to the TC. Additionally, if anyone would like to share the appropriate radius attributes to include in this user's profile (I use VOPRadius), I'd appreciate it.
