[cisco-nas] AS5350 Connection Problems

Seems like the client's circuit can only support V.34
in any case, so he'd be better off with a V.34 cap
(AT+MS=V34 or something like that.)

Perchance, when he was suffering from the problem, did
he have V.44 compression negotiated?  And then, when
the problem went away, was V.42bis compression being
used instead?

There are still some V.44 issues lurking.  We've found
that, on NextPort, adding S65=1024S66=1024 to the modemcap
will avoid some "illegal token" disconnects.  You can try
disabling V.44 on the client or the server.
