For quite some time, while I was with TELEBIT, problems with the
modems failing to reset or connect were blamed on an Automatic
Gain Control (AGC) in the modem which would not adjust to the
line conditions correctly, from time to time.  They have never
really tracked this problem down.  Firmware after firmware has
resulted in this problem either worsening or disappearing on a
per modem basis.

QA?  Well, something is wrong.  All you can do is rag on them to
get your modem to work right.  They are not the most inexpensive
thing in the world...
