I have tried using a PPI 9600SA to answer calls
on a UNIX system using a Digiboard multiport
serial card.  The 9600SA will usually connect with
the caller, then abruptly drop the call (hang up).
Recalling will eventually result in a connect
that is held (and a login).

I have three other modem brands (total of 5 modems)
attached to the machine.
All others work fine. Only the 9600SA exhibits this
behavior. The Telebit, USR and Cardinal modems work fine.

Is anyone else using a 9600SA to answer calls on
a system using a multiport serial card?  What is
different about the 9600SA?  (Yes, I've checked the
configuration, talked to PPI tech support, and nothing
has been solved.)

I am using this configuration:

    N1 S36=7 S37=9 &C1 &D3 S0=1 S2=128 E0 Q1 L0 &K3 &Q5

And have ROM 1.29. Any ideas?
