A wide variety of topics have been brought up lately. What are the lists users thoughts of other remote access products compared to 3com- Total Control? It seems the 3com is widely used products among the ISP forum. Any comments are appreciated.

We just flashed our DSP's over to 2.0.51 on the weekend, and have had a few reports of users with 3Com modems only conecting at 19,200. Not sure if this is just a fluke or a real problem that we're just starting to see. Anyone else see this with 2.0.51?

(usr-tc) Getting disconnect reasons from Hiper DSPs
by Brian Buffington 07 Feb '00

07 Feb '00

I've been trying for the past several hours to get the modem disconnect reasons logged from the Hiper DSPs. I've configured the trap destination through TCM, enabled logging groups 2345 on the NMC and set the logging server to a radius server (Cistron/FreeRadius 1.6.0 on Linux) running on port 1813 on a spare machine. Then I configured the DSPs to log groups 1-4 and enabled the traps for incoming termination. Then I save the template to NVRAM and refresh it. Everything works great up to that point, I can see the modem disconnection reasons in the radius detail log. The problem is that as soon as I refresh the template, no incoming calls can be established on the DSP. "monitor ppp" shows absolutely nothing and a packet dump shows that no radius packets are being exchanged with the authentication server. So I get to watch as clients already on the server disconnect, but no new connections will be successful. As soon as I "restore modem from default" in TCM, calls can be authenticated again but the disconnection reasons logging ceases to work. It seems I can get the reasons logged or get people authenticated, but not both simultaneously. I've probably overlooked something in the configuration that is causing this problem, but I can't find anything in the documentation library (including the documentation CD) or in the KB. Has anyone else gotten modem disconnection reasons logged? Here's the relevant info on this particular chassis: The DSPs are hardware version 0.53.0 running DSP code 2.0.51 The ARC is hardware version 19.0.0 running 4.2.32 The NMC is hardware version 2.0 running 6.2.17 Let me know if you need more information.

(usr-tc) dns server assignment in PPP
by Mark Thornton 05 Feb '00

05 Feb '00

I am having trouble with one of my TCH's assigning the dns servers as part of the PPP negotiation. The other chassis's all do it fine, but I can't tell what the difference in the configuration is. SHOW PPP lists the correct dns servers on all the chassis. Any ideas as to what I should look for?

(usr-tc) One Quick Question
by John Lange 05 Feb '00

05 Feb '00

I don't have a TC yet and have been considering buying 3 of them (Vendors forget it). I have found that it seems to be the general consensus that the 3Com/USR Tech Support is the pits, Service Contracts are a rip-off, the whole world is unfair, and the grass is greener on the other side, I just cannot decide wether to climb the fence or go around... Here's the "I Want To Be a Millionaire Question" Please only send your "FINAL ANSWER" off the list! Is there a "Software Upgrade Underground" or "Mirror Site" for those who cannot afford the Service Contract?

(usr-tc) YYYeeeoooowwwww!!!
by John Lange 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

I just re-subscribed to this list to see what kind of problems / chatter I would see. We are looking at adding 192 NEW ports and were considering USR as a provider. (Vendors please do not respond I have one in mind) You people whine about your TC's JUST AS MUCH as we whine about our PM3's. Looks like modem compatibility is just as bad as the PM3's Lucent's tech support is Free but sometimes difficult to get a human voice. TC's are $2k cheaper with the service contract than PM3's PM's OSPF works??? (At this point I don't need it) TC's chasis are upgradeable, with different cards Anyone have any other comparisons?

(usr-tc) Hard Soft busy out commands
by Paul Farber 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

Hello all Trying to test individual channels on a new PRI. Whenever I selected a group of modems and either hard or soft busied them out (to test the hunt group), I would get busy, and not sequence through the huntgroup to the next open modem. All channels are up, am I not using the busy out commands correctly or will the hard/soft busy out 'break' a huntgroup? Thanks!

it should not be doing this if the telco's switch was paying attention to your out-of-service messages. You need to get the switch tech and possibly someone from translations to verify that your translation supports service messages.
