I'm having problems with the Arnet Smartport driver and its broken handling
of DTR. Arnet tells me that this is a rare problem, and that they are
working on it - shipping date in three weeks, they said (as of a week or
so ago).
(My obvious lack of confidence in the date is caused by the knowledge that
the fix was promised to another site (ncoast) some time ago but never
delivered. "ncoast" is now using a Star*Gate board.
Am I the only one using an Arnet board with modems and having this problem?
If you are in the same boat please send me e-mail; I'd like to see how many
are in the boat with me. If you have any workarounds that would be nice,
too.

I've asked Michael to foward postings to him. I have some more questions: 1) Telebit Modems: Has anybody had any success with them and our Smartport? Yesterday I got marketing involved in trying to get some Telebits in-house. Our Support Department works really hard but they were having no luck with getting infor from Telebit. I have seen problem reports concerning Telebit modems not only with us--Digiboard,Computone, and Anvil all have had postings. 2) Delivery dates missed: There seems to be a big problem with this. I always told customers a software rev. would be out a month or two later than what we had scheduled. Software is always late. late (look at os/2). 3)How often does the phone ring before someone picks up? Is there any problem there? 4) Regular modems: If you're having trouble, call us or reply via e-mail. (800) 366-8844. We have a driver in beta. I've got it installed on three systems and I haven't seen any disconnect problems. The driver release is 5.1.12 beta. Wolf Kozel Arnet

FYI - I recently installed a Computone Intelliport board in my 386 machines running 386ix 2.02 and the Hayes V-Series and USR HST work just dandy with Zmodem transfers - but the T2000 always yields an error after the third block (of 1024 bytes). All the modems are configured for XON/XOFF and the ports are all locked.
