-> i now have two newer runs of barbed wire in place   
      
   Barbed wire.  I never tried that.   
      
   -> you just connected on the main machine... i heard a 19200 connect   
   -> that time and a 21600 earlier ;)   
      
   My modem reports 24000.  You can tell from the tones?   
      
   Every connect I've tried today has been good.  Six months ago when the   
   problem was happening, the modems struggled to negotiate.  But now they   
   sync right up, like they should.   
      
   I hope it stays that way ...   
      
   I realize this is the PCBoard echo, but it has so little traffic, I see   
   no harm going off topic.  There's no moderator anyway.   
      
   Maybe I should take on that job.  Not that I feel a need to assert my   
   authority.  I mainly want to prevent any power hungry control freak from   
   taking over and killing the fun.  Some echos have that problem.   
      
   I would have simple, self enforcing rules, as outlined previously.
