RE: AVTS modem upload BS 4.3.11

["Robert Chen" <robertc@dieboldes.com>]

I am running SP 6 with NT 4.

I was talking to Dana and she thinks that Plumas may be experiencing a
similar problem.  They get intermittent "Connection Timed Out" on their
modem uploads.

Rob,

    There should be no 'correct slot'. The modem should work in either slot.

    As for the "Use Software Compression" this has always been set and has
worked in the past. Do you have all of the service packs installed? There is
a reference in Microsoft's Knowledge base about a problem with WinNT's RAS
and software compression that was fixed in SP 4.
