I have set up RAS to use a Serial Cable "modem" on two machines and have successfully started the RAS server on the selected port. Flow control is the same (I have tried hardware and none). The cable works fine between Hyperterminals running on eachmachie.

The problem is that I receive an "Error 629: The data link was terminated by the remote machine." when trying to connect to the RAS server.

Anybody with any ideas on how to solve this?

Here is one approach:

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Routing and Remote Access Update
for Windows NT Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest
Routing & Remote Access Service Hotfix Update. You can obtain this update
from Microsoft's World Wide Web Site on the Internet at the following location:
