Problem: Replication fails over modem but works on LAN

Hi,
I am having a problem with a replication over a Modem-Connection,
which works fine over LAN. Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Settings are:
2 SQL Servers 2000, SP3
on Windows 2000
Publischer Database ist about 3GB, Subscriber DB about 1,5GB
Publisher and Subscriber are connected via 56Kbit Dial-Up
--> The Replication worked fine now this way for about 6 Months now!
overall the publisher has about 20 Subscribers all connected via
dial-up and they all work fine.

Behavior now is like this:
- Dial Up works fine
- Synch starts
- Synch takes some time (Upload works fine)
- Synch fails
- Error Message(german) :
Der Prozess konnte die Zeilenmetadaten auf 'Subscriber' nicht
abfragen.
{call sp_MSgetmetadat abatch(?,?,?)}
Allgemeiner Netzwerkfehler. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der
Dokumentation über Netzwerke.
Der Prozess wurde erfolgreich beendet.

If I connect the Subscriber-Server directly to the publisher server
via LAN it all works fine.

My thesis is, that there might be some kind of "timeout" or something,
as it cant be the dial-up network, because we tried different modems
and different server locations. And it all works fine on most of the
other connedted subscribers. Only 2 other very big subscribers
experience the same problem, therefore i assume it could have
something to to with slow connection speed, timeouts and an inability
of the SQL server to handle this.

Anyone seen this before? Anyone can help me?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Gerd

Hi all. I am having some troubles with an application that has to open a dialup up connection. I am using the Ras API RasDial to call the remote modem an all works properly. I am also able to close the connection by calling the RasHangUp API: in this case i can redial the number and open a new connection. The problem comes out when the line is busy or when any other error is
