Dear Fellow Arachnids:

I have experience in using many different modems to get on line with
various DOS internet applications.  So far I have found that any
functional real modem, even very old 2400 bps. modems, will work with
EPPPD.

I have encountered several real modems that will work fine with EPPPD,
but they will not work at all with LSppp.

Has anyone discovered any particular characteristics or features present
or lacking in real modems that are incompatible with LSppp?  One thing
I have discovered about modems that are incompatible with Lsppp is that
the incompatibility problem seems to be unrelated to the brand or the
manufacturer, or the modem speed, or the date of manufacture.

BTW, a common error message returned by LSppp when it fails to connect
when using an incompatible modem is "get a Hayes modem".  I have found
that using a Hayes modem does not guarantee compatibility with LSppp.
I have a genuine Hayes modem, being an external 9600 bps. modem, that
works fine with EPPPD, but it won't work with LSppp.
