Ok, you wanted me to report the time. It happened again today. I was typing an e-mail message at 1:00 when I suddenly received a message saying Goodbye, this terminal... (it did *not* say I had been idle too long). I tried calling back, got on at 1:01. The modems did their handshaking, then established a connection at 57,600. It locked up. I hung up and tried again, with the same results. I repeated this about once a minute until 1:06. Then, out of curiosity, I changed my modem settings so it would not go any higher than 14.4 and dialed back. Bingo, I got in. This is strange; I usually get on at 57.6 with no problems. I think the last time this happened, I was connecting at 57.6 as well (but the good connection later was, too). Perhaps one of the modems can't handle 57.6 properly? Regards, Bob Addendum: I typed the rest of this message earlier, but encountered problems posting. This time I got logged on (after 48 minutes of continuous dialing...) and made a connection at 57.6. The modem and computer have not been reset since earlier, so it almost has to be on that end. -- Robert E.
