Paul,
PPP offloading - There are two ways how ppp framing is done in the ARC. One way is to set the ARC to do the PPP framing and the other way is to have the HDSP to do the PPP framing. Basically when we talk about PPP framing we are talking about the checking the ppp frame striping the headers etc.
The modem or the HDSP uses hardware to strip the PPP headers, and to recreate them when sending out while the arc uses software. Technically for speed using the modem/HDSP to strip the PPP framing is good for you use the hardware asic that is faster.
Yes the ARC can handle seven DSP's worth of ppp framing that is not the issue but would like to know what caused you to play with the ppp offloading in the first place. Send me details

This is probibly an old issue... but has anyone ever come up with a good explination of PPP offloading, and.. in what situations should I enable/disable it?
I went through about 4 weeks of users connecting, verifying, then dropping.
Out of panic I disabled PPP offloading on both arcs in the chassis and my phone has not rung in hours.
The $64 question... what did I do? Why did it happen? The TCS 4.5 docs say that PPP offloading controls what card does PPP framing.. the ARC(?) or the modem/DSP(?)... and thats it.
Can an ARC card handle 7 DSP's worth of PPP framing work? sho cpu utiliaztion showed all 0% util.
Anyone got an idea on what happened?
Thanks

Hello. We have a Total Control V.92 / HiperDSP Chassis to offer V.92 dialup service. We are very pleased with V.92 as a whole. However, we have a problem with a couple dozen Agere V.92 Modem users in that they get an error message that reads... "Connected Phone Line is not compatible with this modem. Only Analog Phone Lines are Supported" This is of course NOT a real digital / analog issue, since these are a number of regular home users connected to regular home phone lines, and in most cases, their modems work fine for week before starting to do this. In some cases, people can reboot their computers and it'll work OK for another day/week before it has the same problem again. I know the easy suggestion is to switch to a different modem, which would be fine, but we haven't seen a good, working Modem On Hold application on anything except the Agere modems. There are functional MOH Apps for the Intel Chipset & the Connexant modems, but they either don't display the Caller ID info, or they are cumbersome to the point of failure; requiring 4 or 5 mouse clicks to accept a phone call. However, if someone can suggest a good V.92 modem that works well with HiperDSP V.92 code and has a good MOH Application, that would be a great solutions as well. :-) This seems only to affect V.92 Agere Soft Modems and only some of them. I've been to ModemSite.com to see, and there is no help there, so I thought I'd post it here for help... Please... - Thank you. - Todd Chamberlain

Yes, we install MOH software and we're pretty confident that the problem was caused by the latest 1.70 version of the MOH software. We're finding that the MOH feature is far and away the most sought after feature. After years of dwindling interest in dial-up, we're again signing people up at a really healthy pace, and mostly it's because they can accept phone calls while online. Sure, it's not the same as ADSL, but it's half the price, and for half the people, it's all they want. Actually, for us, this is the deciding factor for which modem to provide. I really like the Intel based modems better, but I havn't seen a MOH application that's nearly as good as the Agere's. I don't think it's very good either, but it's the best thing out there that I've seen. Some of them have half a dozen clicks to accept a phone call, and if you do anything in the wrong order, you miss the call. The Lucent Application is pretty good, so we're stuck on Agere modems for now. :-) Todd Chamberlain ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Farber" <farber@admin.f-tech.net>

Sure. We've been buying the TelePipe Blitzz (www.iBlitzz.com) modems, model number BFI306, but we've also had the same success with modems by Phoebe Micro / Lunar or other companies using the Agere chipset. Looking at the Chipset, it's an Agere SV92P Chipset. We get them for about $15 Canadian, so I'm guessing about $10 US$ should get these for you. I'm not thrilled with anything that cheap normally, and normally I don't like 'soft' modems, but so far, the Agere MOH application is the most functional I've seen. Personally, I'd much rather use the Intel modems, but they don't have nearly as functional a MOH application, unfortunately. I also recommend a membership at ModemSite.com. They seem to be pretty good source for info and drivers, although that's kind of where our problem also started, since they have the version 1.70 of the Modem On Hold software that caused us problems. However, they also have the version 1.68 that seems to run just fine. :-) Personally, I think MOH is great. Easily half of our customers that express and interest in 'high speed' want it primarily to free up the phone line. This doesn't totally free it up, but it certainly allows customers to use the internet without worrying that they are missing important phone calls. It also often allows them to take a call and stay in the chat room or stay in the online game they are playing, without having to log off completely to take a quick call. We set our MOH to 6 minutes, which we find is plenty long enough for most conversations, but at least it's long enough to decide whether or not to talk or surf. :-) - Todd Chamberlain ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy C.

This seems only to affect V.92 Agere Soft Modems and only some of them. I've been to ModemSite.com to see, and there is no help there, so I thought I'd post it here for help... Please...
- Thank you. - Todd Chamberlain

OK Kevin. To refresh the problem, some of our customers were getting an error reporting that the "Connected phone line is not compatible with this modem. Only analog Phone Lines are supported." Of course, the phone lines were regular home analog lines and not digital lines, so it was the error message that was in error (Captain Kirk would be so proud!) We've been tried to issolate this for a couple weeks, and as it turns out, we think, to be the MOH version 1.70 from ModemSite.com that is the culprit. We're emailing them separately to let them know what we've discovered. It was also tricky to track down, since we've done about 150 Agere installs in the last couple month's, and mostly with no problems. However, in the recent weeks, we've had over a dozen people report this issue. To add stress, the computers would usually work just fine when brought into the shop. Finally, this morning, we had a computer that displayed the problem every time we tried it in the shop. We could reboot and get the same problem evertime. Good deal, at least we could tinker with it now. :-) We tried various modem drivers, changes PCI slots and changed modem cards, all with the same bad results. Finally arrived at ver 1.70 of the MOH application was causing the problem. If we went back to 1.68, it worked no problem. When we re-installed 1.70, the problem immediately came back. If we ran no MOH application, at all, there was also no problem. We had been running Version 2.1.22 and 2.1.23 of the modem drivers on most computers and of course, we used the latest MOH application (1.70) as a guy is supposed to, but in this case, that's what seems to be the problem. So, we're back to driver version 2.1.23 & MOH version 1.68 for new installs and we're expecting that this will work fine, without the "connected line is not compatible with this modem" error. - Todd Chamberlain ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Hemsley" <kev@ida.net>
Go ahead and post your findings. I'm interested to hear what you found.

Hello. We have a Total Control V.92 / HiperDSP Chassis to offer V.92 dialup service. We are very pleased with V.92 as a whole. However, we have a problem with a couple dozen Agere V.92 Modem users in that they get an error message that reads... "Connected Phone Line is not compatible with this modem. Only Analog Phone Lines are Supported"

Paul - curious what version of DSP code you are running?

When enabled the HDSP handles the ppp framing.

When PPP offloading is enabled, then the DSP handles it? Correct? Or is it the other way around?

Paul,
PPP offloading - There are two ways how ppp framing is done in the ARC. One way is to set the ARC to do the PPP framing and the other way is to have the HDSP to do the PPP framing. Basically when we talk about PPP framing we are talking about the checking the ppp frame striping the headers etc.
The modem or the HDSP uses hardware to strip the PPP headers, and to recreate them when sending out while the arc uses software. Technically for speed using the modem/HDSP to strip the PPP framing is good for you use the hardware asic that is faster.
Yes the ARC can handle seven DSP's worth of ppp framing that is not the issue but would like to know what caused you to play with the ppp offloading in the first place. Send me details

This is probibly an old issue... but has anyone ever come up with a good explination of PPP offloading, and.. in what situations should I enable/disable it?
I went through about 4 weeks of users connecting, verifying, then dropping.
Out of panic I disabled PPP offloading on both arcs in the chassis and my phone has not rung in hours.
The $64 question... what did I do? Why did it happen? The TCS 4.5 docs say that PPP offloading controls what card does PPP framing.. the ARC(?) or the modem/DSP(?)... and thats it.
Can an ARC card handle 7 DSP's worth of PPP framing work? sho cpu utiliaztion showed all 0% util.
Anyone got an idea on what happened?
Thanks
