(ASCEND) Phone Lines Vs. Max



       I was wondering what kinds of approaches people on the list use
       to determine the culprit
       when a user or users have difficulty connecting to the Max via
       analog modem.  We have
       Max 4000s and 200s deployed all over the globe.  In one case we
       had a user staying at a
       hotel in Tokyo connecting to our Max 200.  He complained that
       he could only stay connected
       for 10 or 15 minutes at a time.  I dialed into the Max from the
       states and I could stay connected
       for 30 or 45 minutes without a problem.  In another case, a
       user in Dublin complained that he
       could not establish connection at all with the Max 4000 at that
       location.  He's connected before
       so his radius account's ok.  I dialed in to the Dublin Max four
       times in a row and connected without
       incident.

       We want to be responsive to our roaming RAS users.  But the
       bottom line is we don't have much
       control over local line conditions in one hotel or other, one
       city or other, one country or other.  But what
       CAN we do to give our users the best odds of succeeding?  And
       what are some methods people
       use to pin-the-tail-on-the-local-circuit?

       Your tips are appreciated.
