RE: MultiTech MT2834ZDXV recommendation?



What I would do:
0) Check with manufacturer to see if this is a know problem and try to 
get a later firmware release, revision.
1) Change the modem and use an new one same model
2) If problem persists, change FLID to a numeric string and check again
3) If the problems still persists commit Hara_Kiri.....

Please keep me posted on this subject, I am buying this modem for my
system.
