   Netserial _is_ the windows virtual modem from PCMicro, and is configured as   
   preferred.

   Yes, for example I can connect to Janis, and get correct mail session answer,   
   but she denied filerequest on her 1:1/0 address, so it was refused. I have   
   tried too to 2:230/152, Gert, and I can connect, but I can see on the screen,   
   I startup his BBS, before I get redirected to his mailer. When I get   
   redirected to the mailer, it think a lot, and then drop the carrier. The same   
   on 2:230/0, Benny - my uplink! So i'm not sure if it is my setup there is   
   okay, and theres there is wrong, or different.

   Yes, I used BNU in the start of my modem days, but then I try ADF, and get   
   better performance with that, and since then I have used ADF.   
      
    ml> i do but i don't do it on winwhatever... i still use OS/2   
    ml> with ray gwinn's SIO serial driver package...   
      
   I have tried to install OS/2, but get errordump when the system restart after   
   install :( Maybe the HD or the pc is too fast!   
      
   Have you filerequest on some of your lines? Where FD is online? So I could try   
   to request from your system, and see how it work against you. Okay?   
      
   But for now - thanks for the help!
