 SW> I have a USR V Everything on a 486sx and am using Intermail as a
 SW> front  end to a BBS. I have recently noticed that the modem will
 SW> sometimes  drop carrier if the users pauses for a min or two between
 SW> receiving  data and entering any information. It happens with all baud
 SW> rates and  configurations. It seems that if there is no data on the
 SW> line for a min  or two it just drops carrier. I do reset the modem with
 SW> a AT&F1  followed by a comma and some other simple setups that I have
 SW> found work  well. The only thing is dropping carrier if the line is
 SW> idle for a few  min.
 SW> 
 SW> Any information that could be suggested would be appreciated. BTW i 
 SW> have the node locked at 38400 baud. I found that if I lock InterMail 
 SW> and the BBS software at any higher baud rate there is a problem (looks
 SW> like incorrect baud rate is passed to the BBS) when the BBS loads. I 
 SW> have had a Zoom 28.8 VFC on this node and it would lock at the higher 
 SW> baud rate and transfer to the BBS at the higher baud rate. I would 
 SW> prefer to leave the USR 28.8 Courier on this node but due to the 
 SW> problems I have encountered I may have to take the USR off and put 
 SW> another Zoom on.
