Trouble with nas22 may explain the disconnection problems that some customers are experiencing. If you get disconnected, please make note of the IP address you were allocated so that we can see which access server you were on. You can obtain your IP address in Windows using the winipcfg command. -Dane

The error being returned to end users was error 629, data link terminated by remote peer. We’re working currently on a lobotomy for the Computone equipment which will bypass the rather quirky on-board OS. -Eli & Dane
