I have just purchased 2 trailblazer + modems- one for a newsfeed to
my homesite feed, the second for dialup use into that machine and 
several others.  I have had two problems that I have not been able 
to solve and was wondering if anyone had had similar problems-

1) I subscribed to uunet service.  I have been unable to contact them
at their 800 number with the TB modems.  They attempt to sync up, but
then just drop the line after a 20 seconds or so.  I have tried this
with micropackets on and off (S120).

2) When using a 5.0 TB to a 4.0 TB in interactive mode locally, the
modems sometimes fail to sync up until the 5.0 modem is power cycled.
Once a connection is established,  about every 10 minutes the modem
starts trying to resync the line (I have started running comm sessions
with the speaker open so I can tell whats going on).  It usually fails
to resync.  I end up having to dial in again, and am always reconnected
successfully, but then, 10 minutes later....

3) When a connection is established, bringing the modem into command
mode via '+++' and then trying to put the modem back online via 
'ATO' results in the connection never being reestablished.  I haven't
tried this one with the speaker open, so I am not sure if it is 
attempting to resync.

My inclination is to somehow find 4.0 roms (since all folks I know
using 4.0 roms are having no problems) for my modems...  Anyone got
any other ideas?

Thanks.
