I recommend you use the dobbs.bat system of fd 2.12 that allows frontdoor to limit callers timelimits to allow events to run on schedule. As far as opus dropping carrier. if you diable 300bps opus will drop carrier. it thinks 28800, 14400,7200 and several otehrs to be bogus. and thus thinks they are 300bps callers. If you look in your opus.log you will notice what I am talking about. Michele Marie Dalene ...
