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.               ml> have you tried using X00 or BNU? they pretty set the        ml> standard for FOSSIL drivers when they came on the PC        ml> scene...              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!              -=[Best regards]=-        -=[Elmo]=-              --- FMail 1.60W+        * Origin: DDI BBSystem * BinkP Mail/Freq * Telnet BBS (5123) * 24h (2:230/35)    |
