Mark,

The funny thing is that it connects fine. It's only when it disconnects that
I get the error message and ISP STATUS remains A instead of resetting to I.
I was looking at the TVLDL event and it seems to use PHONE-C alot. I thought
maybe it checked the status of PHONE-C before resting ISP STATUS to I, but
now I don't see where ISP-STATUS is reset to I at all. Am i missing
something?

Tom
