I had lots of problems with one particular ISP that I didn't have
elsewhere. It seemed related to binary data. Text email and text web
pages were OK, but attachments in email and highly graphical pages gave
me problems with Linux PPP and Trumpet winsock.
This was almost a year ago; I can't recall all the details now.
They had some Gandalf equipment and when they got rid of it, things were
better.
I had to use this asyncmap for escaping control codes. I'm afraid I
can't recall any better explanation. All the same hardware and software
worked fine everywhere else I have ever had to call.
