Re: lt_get_modem_interface

Peter,
ONE possible cause may be poor line quality
Just to make sure, drastically reduce the speed by adding
+MS=V34 preceeded by one space to the last modem initialization string
command such as in ATZ +MS-V34
(or add AT+MS=V34 if initialization strings are empty).
You reach this as follows: kppp->Setup->Modem->ModemCommands
If this helps you can optimize the loss in speed by reading
http://www.modemsite.com/56k/x2-linklimit.asp#Lucent FOR THE MARS MODEM.
Lucent only, Mars only. Ignore other brands and modems.
