Can anyone tell me why the DSP cards perform the verify/logon sequence quicker than the quads? We have 3 chassises, two running Quads and one running DSPs. The DSPs verify and logon much quicker than the quads. Is there a setting I can look at that might cause this? I would like all of the modems to verify/login as quickly as the DSP cards do!
I don't know about quad vs. DSP comparison, but I remember there being a distinction between Arcs and NETServers where the NETServers had a bug (no surprise there) where they corrupted/dropped the first LCP packet that came through in PPP negotiation. They then had to wait for the timeout and for the LCP packet to be resent. This resulted in actually fairly noticeable increases in the time for PPP negotiation. I'm not sure if this holds true with quads and dsps, but you might try logging a ppp connection with something that gives you timestamps (a linux box with the "debug" ppp and chat option?) and see what's occuring (at least from the client side) during a connection. There might be some clue there as to what's going on that's causing the quads to take longer. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
