>We are using Multitech 932EAB modems to remote program and control a research
>radar here at the lab.  Randomly these modems will disconnect from each other
>and can take up to 4-5 hours for them to reset so that they are not busied out.
>Sometimes a power off/on cycle has to be done at the remote end to reset it.

>They are both fixed at 9600 for the port speed, and yes, the remote one is
>'out in the country'.  

>I called and talked to Multitech and they shipped out an updated chip set for
>the modems (vers 401) and that seemed to help a little but we are still
>having problems.  

>Anyone with ideas?
