I never could figure out the whole idea of a workaround...
versus a true fix. I am sure they can certainly fix it considering they broke
it... (When I say they broke I mean they broke it... originally this was not an
issue with the Hiper DSP's)
Maybe 3com should actually address the defects directly
instead of a chip reset for when the problem happens... which is quite
often.
BTW, whatever happen to the V90 issues?? Still no resolution
on that 3com? (Was acknoledged that they had V90 issues over 3 months ago and
still no resolution. Ascends still connect V90 more often)
IMHO

You want 2.0.60...it has a workaround
(note...not fix) for the hanging
modem issue...it does proactive aggressive
resets on the modems when
this occurs. 2.6.0 doesn't exist. The
numbering system is nothing so
simple as you describe it here. The
first two numbers are as you would
normally expect (higher numbers are
later)...for the third number
though, basic releases count up, then
Engineering Releases and Service
Releases (ER's and SR's) count down.
This means that there will be an
initial release (for 2.0.x in the DSP's,
it was 2.0.19), then there will
likely be later ER's and SR's that you
might be using (for DSP's, 2.0.81
was the first SR, 2.0.60 was the next
one, 2.0.51 will likely be the
third). The general consensus is that
2.0.60 does help with the hung
modem issue...its not perfect, but its
better.
