Any suggestions as to why when in the US Ras works great, but when travelk is needed, only our Win2000 laptops are getting dropped after about 2 min, and takes the 2-5 tries to establish conection.(win 98 & win95 do not have this problem from the same locations)

I never experienced that yet, therefore I can not elaborate on the subject, however, it seems to me that you should try to enable the creation of a VPN connection rather than dialing to the RAS directly, once this one is establish you could eliminate the dropping connection issue..

That would be a good solution if these weren't laptops. Constantly creating VPN's to laptops is not only vary time consuming but vary impractical.

We have also tried to connect using a locas phone number, with the same results, unstable and takes mulitple tries to just get a connection, that is then dropped.

Myself and the rest of the staff all use RAS and PAL/Contivity, Both systems have the same symptoms. BTW Contivity is a VPN connection.
