I just ran across this thread. I have the same modem/version as Adam
Donald, and it has been in service since the first of this year. I
have never experienced wedging, but several times I have seen the phone
jack on the modem lose its dial tone. I never have found anything that
confirms when it happened, but it is always seems to be noticed shortly
after a "premature V.34 termination". We have a stand-alone fax
machine hooked up to this jack for sending faxes, so it doesn't get
noticed until someone tries to send a fax through that machine. During
this time the fax modem continues to function (both sending and
receiving) without any problems. The only way I have found so far to
get a dial tone back is to reboot the server. Next time it happens
I'll try to gather some more details based on what I've read here and
post them to the list.

Hello all,
Here are the results of my poll on user
experiences with the Multi-Tech MT5634ZPX-PCI modems. There are some
questions I would like answers to and those are in the notes section.
If people on the list who I have referenced could send me an email with
those answers I can include them into the table.
As an experiment, I would suggest that Mike
McMullen and Adam Donald try downgrading to 1.25p to see if that helps
(if you haven't already done so).
Thanks for your help,
Steve Tuckner

- How is the modem being used in terms of send/receive
volumes?
- About every other day he got modem's wedged. Requires reboot
and unplug phone lines. Should try 1.25p.
- Was at 1.32c but backed off to 1.25p when modems wouldn't come
back online after successful calls. Has 1.32c on low volume machine
working fine. Were modem's wedged? Would a reboot be required
to reset modems?
- Uses class 2.1.
- Log level not high enough. Modem spits garbage when answering
call when using 1.32I.
- Modems aren't answering incoming calls. Restart of faxgetty is
necessary to clear up. Does the modem respond to AT commands?
Do RING messages come out?
