Oh boo...it's kinda hard to justify resetting an ARC that terminates 240 connections for the sake of fixing one modem. Any fixes in sight, 3Com? Speaking of strange problems, one of my chassis (dual CT1, quads, NetServer) has a quad card in slot 8, on which modems 2 & 4 are constantly in some kind of errored state and won't answer calls. The telco reports dead air when they sieze the trunk. I've swapped the card out and sent it to 3Com who reported finding no problem with it (so I later juggled it in with one of my quad to DSP trade-up bundles...take THAT! heh), however, it would appear that the problem still exists after having replaced the card with a known good working card. Is it possible that the slot has gone bad? Any ideas on what might be going on here? Matthew Stainforth || Technical Services Manager || BrunNet Inc.

Stainforth, Matthew said once upon a time:
Is this the "modems go crazy in pairs" bug or something
else? I have a
chassis with 240 channels, on which one modem refuses to answer a call with pbGenericError as the reason. If that's what you're getting then I guess it's not just me...
3com acknowledged the bug as some sort of memory corruption. Resetting the card alone doesn't fix it, you have to reset the ARC also. Pain in the neck.
