Peter, thanks for the reply. I did some testing with PowerDUN and did not
receive any specific error message. This doesn't surprise me with out
Livingston pm3s, but our wholesale partner has more modern equipment I
would expect to support this feature (i.e Cisco, TNT, Lucent).

I've also been able to find little information on how this works or what
vendors support this. From what I gather the NAS passes the reply on to
the client via PPP. I would think this would be the default but perhaps
it's something that specifically needs to be enabled. Do you have any
further information you can point me to?

Regards,
        Chris
