Example dial-In From a WinXP Computer
The Model 3700 is designed to allow connections from any
generic PPP system including MacOS, Linux, Windows 9x, XP
and 2000. We have found that windows XP/2000 has a timeout
issue that affects some computers but not others. When calling
the Model 3700 with Windows XP/2000 you may receive an error
message stating that a loopback error was detected, preceded
by windows hanging up promptly after connecting to the Model
3700. If that is the case, a slight delay in the dial process for
windows will correct the problem. Adding this delay in a dial
script is detailed below.
Step 1: Using notepad, create a text file called “c:\windows\
system32\ras\Model 3700.scp”. In that text file, add the following
script
proc main
delay 2
endproc
Save and close the file
