Sorry, perhaps you have me confused with somebody?  The problem I'm 
referring to is the "Modem dies during file uploads."  Although, I'm not 
sure it's the same problem I'm seeing.  Here is the symptom:

When there is a lot of outbound data, the modem will eventually stop 
transmitting.  It does continue to receive, however, and the modem 
doesn't hang up unless one side or the other tells it to.  (e.g., if I 
have lcp-echo options set on pppd, which will eventually bring the link 
down and hang up).

The amount of data that goes through before the modem stops transmitting 
varies.  Sometimes it's a few kbytes, but it may be as much as several 
megabytes.

Assuming that this is the same problem described in the post from Gwyn 
Morfey, 21 Oct, the reason I wondered if it was fixed is that Marc 
posted a message on Oct 22 that he would look into the problem when he 
returned to the office.  I haven't seen anything since then in the 
ChangeLog indicating any activity on it.

I have verified the problem on version beta02110301.

Thanks,
-Dan
