[comp.unix.ultrix] modem/DMB-32 woes

We have a 6320 running Ultrix 3.1 with 4 DMB-32s.  They seem
to cause us lots of problems but the one I'd like to describe now is
associated with modems.  We have 12 Digital "Scholar" modems connected
on adjacent ports.

What happens is that most of the time things work fine BUT sometimes
when people don't log out but just disconnect, the modem doesn't shut
down the session.  When the next person dials in on that modem, they
get the previous person's session.

It seems like when the modem loses carrier that it ought to treat it
as if the session had terminated.

Anyone seem a problem resembling this?

						Mark.
