Re: Back with ISDN, problems--OCLM & RH328
Plain and simple to do MLPPP on ISDN requires the ISP be setup to handle it.
The symptoms you post are EXACTLY what you get when your ISP is BROKEN for MLPPP.
The RAS servers need to be set to
1) Accept MLPPP
2) Accept MLPPP SAME RAS SAME BLADE
3) Accept MLPPP SAME RAS DIFFERENT BLADE
4) Accept MLPPP DIFFRENENT RAS
9 out of 10 #3 & #4 is what gets you on busy POP's.
Many of the POP's are now run by POP aggregators as mentioned and they have intentionally disabled MLPPP.
MLPPP can be done on either ISDN or V.90/92 aka shotgun modem mode. Many POP providers don't like this as it totally wacks out the normal 10:1 modem ratio many keep on a POP port. Thats why you normally pay quite a bit more for 2B MLPPP ISDN or v.90/92 and even more if you want to hog it 24/7.
Getting this fixed if its not a local ISP is pretty much going to be a nightmare. Find a LOCAL ISP that has a clue on ISDN and knows how to setup the RAS at their POP. Its not that hard, its actually a few clicks in the setup, but if its not done, your hosed. Also RADIUS needs to be setup to allow this too. Many ISP's get the RADIUS side, but the RAS servers are not setup correctly so things go awry.
LOCAL ISP's with LOCAL TECH's and their OWN LOCAL POP's are the cure for ISDN.
When I was forced to use ISDN that was the only way to ensure I got 2B MLPPP service. Finding one can be a real problem now days I am sure, but in rural areas you find dial up (ISDN is really dial up) ISP's tend to prosper and it may be easier.
Look for ISP's that say local owned and operated and have OWN POP's.
