After a number of frustrating attempts, I finally got the Bitsurfr Pro to work
with 2B channels using multilink PPP on Interramp using the Microsoft Win95
winsock.dll and the Microsoft dial-up network dialer.

In order to avoid clogging the newsgroups with an unnecessarily long posting,
I will cover only those points that might give you a problemm.

1.  Upgrade the firmware to version rev C.  You can down load an archive with
the image file and instructions on www.mot.com or from the Motorola BNN --
analog 508-337-7304 or ISDN 508-337-7304.  Expand the archive and read the
instructions contained in it.  The image file is 4190_1C.SL.  You can use the
Hargrave terminal program included with Win95 to do the upload to the modem.

2.  Also download the *.inf file archive to install the Bitsurfr Pro as a 
modem.  After you expand the file, open the modems icon in the control panel
folder and add the bitsurfer Pro.  Then select the bitsurfer Pro line and open
it.  Then go Propeties/connection/advanced.  Put in the init string
AT&F&C1&D2\Q3%A2=95@B0=2@M2=P%A4=1.

3.  Under the general tab put speed at 115200.

4.  Then go to the dialup networks folder in My Computer and click the Make
New Connection icon and fill out the necessary phone number.  IMPORTANT:  When
you fill out the phone number enter it twice with at "&" and a "1" if
necessary between the two numbers.  Example: 703-904-9050&1703-904-9050.  Do
not but a "1" in front of the first number even it is necessary.  Win95 will
supply it.  If you add a "1" then the dialer will dial 11703......,  Of
course, if the access number is local and needs no "1" first then don't add
it.

4.  The last *REALLY IMPORTANT TIP*.  When you start to connect, the first
screen that you get will be the one with the "connect" button on the bottom. 
Notice that the phone number does not have the & in it.  You need to add it
before you dial, because Win95 will strip it each time you dial.  This could
be considered a feature, if you like, because if you want only one channel to
read the news and mail and save the cost of the second channel, then don't put
in the "&" and you will get only one channel.  If you put in the "&", you will
get multilink PPP using two channels for web surfing and downloading files.

I got this information from Motorola Tech Support.  The technician that helped
me was just great -- knowledgeable and patient.
