(usr-tc) NetServer question...
by Steve Monkhouse 29 Dec '99

29 Dec '99

Hello all! Hope everyone had a good christmas and have a 'subdued' new years planned ! ( i know i dont ! ).. anyway.. One of the good old Netserver 486based cards here causing me 'simple' grief.. Card itself operates perfectly, Im writing a perl script at the moment that basically telnets to the card and does a sh sess.. problem arises when the netserver responds 'press return to continue'.. is there anyway of disabling this auto-pause function, or a command to set the termlength, or even better a program someone else has written to do a 'who's onine' query to the netserver ?? Any help appreciated..

(usr-tc) NMC question

How can I tell if I have a 386 or 486 4MB NMC in one of our chassis? It's on a remote POP so at the moment I only have SNMP access to it. __________________________________ Kalev Nurklik AS MicroLink Online Pa"rnu mnt. 158, 11317 Tallinn, Estonia Tel: +372 6501709 Fax: +372 6501708 E-mail: k.nurklik(a)online.ee http://microlink.online.ee - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Hi guys. I don't know what kind of modem demographics your users are dragging in, but here we are drowning in Rockwell HCFs that won't connect to anything with a USR/3Com logo. We have both Quads and DSP cards, and we are running the _latest_ code. TCS 3.6 with all the fixes. Most of the modem settings are the 3Com defaults. What are the best way to get these to get these things to work? Get an Ascend? ----Steve Stephen Amadei Director of MIS Dandy Connections, Inc.

Re: (usr-tc) Rockwell HCF Hell

Here in Southern Arkansas, Wal Mart recently had a truck load sale on Hewlett Packard computers. They all have the HCF modems oddly enough with the exception of 1 or 2 they are all working nicely here. Today I set up a new Compaq with a Lucent Win moden that was getting between 49 to 52,000 connection rates. We have not seen major problems with these modems recently.We are running all DSP's in our chassis's.... FWIW we have been reccommending and buying a few of the Creative Labs Modem Blaster that Wal Mart is selling here for around $49.00. The people that are using these are getting good connection rates and say they rarely ever loose connction so we didnt loose a customer. Buying and installing a modem when for a customer when you know they are having problems and about to leave you is a very cheap investment to keep them around for a while. Plus when they tell their friends what you have done for them that my friends is PRICELESS :-) Greg Owens Magnolia Internet Services http://www.magnolia-net.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Elfert <brian(a)citilink.com> To: <usr-tc(a)lists.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, December 23, 1999 2:53 PM Subject: Re: (usr-tc) Rockwell HCF Hell > > > On Thu, 23 Dec 1999, Stephen Amadei wrote: > > > We have both Quads and DSP cards, and we are running the _latest_ code. > > TCS 3.6 with all the fixes.

(usr-tc) NOTICE: HiPer DSP Service Release 2.0.51 for hardware version 0 .55.0 (posting complete)
by Chuck Stace 24 Dec '99

24 Dec '99

3Com Customers, 3Com would like to announce the release of HiPerDSP Service Release v2.0.51 on the TotalService website at: http://totalservice.3com.com/cgi-bin/w3com/start?totalservice+latest ( posted under Total Control Hubs ) or http://totalservice.3com.com/cgi-bin/w3com/start?totalservice+software ( search by Total Control Hubs : HiPer DSP) This Service Release provides fixes for the issues found with HiPer DSP hardware version 0.55.0. For more details on what issues are addressed with this Service Release, please reference the note below from 3Com Product Management and also the release notes found on TotalService. This code does not require a service contract to download, and will be free for download until the end of January 2000. (Jan. 31, 2000). If there are any questions or concerns regarding this Service Release, please contact 3Com Technical Support toll-free at 1-800-231-8770. If you are calling from an area not handled by this number, the TotalService website has contact information for other countries and regions. Please go to the TotalService website and click on 'Contacting Tech Support' for more information. Thank you and Happy Holidays, Chuck Stace CSO Customer Service Product Planning Chuck_Stace(a)3com.com ------- Dear 3Com Customer, 3Com would like to provide you with a status update regarding the recent HiPer DSP issues. Previous communication had identified three failures that had been reported against the HiPer DSP. We noted that we had done some investigation and felt that the three failures were a result of a single root cause. We had also outlined a plan that included two means of addressing this problem; 1.) We were in the testing phase of a software fix and 2.) We were working to identify hardware rework where necessary. At this time, we are pleased to announce that the testing of the software fix has been proven to address the issues. In addition it was confirmed that as expected the three failures were a result of a single root cause. We have completed ITG regression testing and STG network model testing with the new code and have not encountered any issues. Therefore, we are recommending the software fix to all of our customers that may have been affected by this issue. The software fix had been made available to a controlled customer base for testing and all of the feedback has been positive. Moving forward, the CSO team will support customers in their efforts to acquire this code. The CSO team has posted this release on the Total Service Web site as a Service Release. This code fix will provide our customers with the most expedient means of addressing this problem. The software will prevent the need of the customer to visually inspect all suspect boards and will prevent the time required for the hardware rework process. We thank you for your patience as we provide resolution to this issue.

Most of the modem settings are the 3Com >defaults. In one chassis I have 5 CHT1 on DSPs with 2.0.60 and 1 CHT1 on Quads with 6.1.6 , ARC code 4.1.59. I have a separate access number for the Quads and have found that they answer most HSP56 modems as well as one might expect (the connect speeds vary and I get a few more disconnects but the customers seem quite happy with it). It seems that the DSPs won't connect with any HSP 33.6 or 56K, my biggest problem is that with the volume of HSP users I'll run out of capacity on the Quads long before the DSPs fill up. luke >What are the best way to get these to get these things to work? >Get an Ascend? > > ----Steve >Stephen Amadei >Director of MIS >Dandy Connections, Inc. >Atlantic City, NJ > > >- > To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" > with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message. > For information on digests or retrieving files and old messages send > "help" to the same address.
