Several weeks ago I bought a new ZOOM 56k modem. I have gotten
consistently good speeds with it (in the order of 40,000 bps).
After I had been using it for a couple of weeks, it began to
intermittently fail to respond to ppp or minicom. There is no error
message - just no response when any command is sent to the modem. In
minicom, nothing appears on the screen when I type, and there is no
response to +++. The minicom commands to initialize and reset are
accepted, but there is no apparent effect.
It is very erratic - sometimes I can make a dozen or more ppp
connections in a session, other times I can only make one or two
connections before it fails to respond. The only cure I have found is
to reboot, which is a pain. I have never had it fail the first try
after a reboot.
Does this sound like a hardware problem, or is there any possible
software problem?
