Modern PBX phone switches almost always due an extra D/A conversion, which will negatively impact analog modem performance if they're in the signal path.
We use an all-digital, T1-based solution (Equinox) on the server side to ensure a clean signal path for our dial-in users. The signal generally stays digital until it reaches the client's phone company CO. :::Ryan Malayter, MCSE :::Bank Administration Institute :::Chicago, Illinois, USA -----Original Message----- From: Charles E Carson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 5:10 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Strange RAS problems Funny thing... it's the phone system. Having both the RRAS box and the client on POTS lines resolved the issue. If either the client or the server is through our phone switch, we have spotty service. Time for the phone guys to earn their pay. -----Original Message----- From: Charles E Carson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 4:33 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: OT: Strange RAS problems Background Had a Windows NT RAS server that was working like a charm for months. All of a sudden, on Tuesday, I get a call from one of my dial-up users stating that the RAS connection is slow. Sure enough, I test out the connection and I can't dial-in. Long story short, I've built a 2000 RRAS box on the network and I'm connecting very spotty (ie, if I change the timeout for a ping, every 4th ping is outrageously high), if at all (I tend to get dropped) Although you would think this would be due to phone lines, we've tried POTS, local and long distance T1s and seem to have the same problem. The telecom folks seem to think that it is not the phones (of course, they always do). Anyone seen anything like this before to help lead me out of this mess? Any consideration would be appreciated Charles Carson Network Administrator Southwest Student Services 480-824-6608 ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
