Marc...

I have a problem that may not be solvable with FNOS :-(...

I've been using an ISP just fine up till this morning but I am now suddenly
getting a different logon sequence with them.  I have been connecting and
they would ask for Name and password as expected.  Now, I get a line that
says (some brand) Pipeline Server and then asks for a password.  It never
asks for name so the script fails.  Looks like they have changed software
on me.  The Win95 dial up logon still will work but fnos doesn't.

I have another server so I thought I'd try them.  They have a funny setup.
They were a BBS which became an ISP.  So, when you call, their software
says, "checking for ppp connection... 8 second delay - press CTRL X to
abort to BBS".  The system apparently never detects that FNOS is a ppp
connection and drops through to the BBS :-(!  Any way to solve this?  This
really is the provider I prefer to use.

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm using fnos16a5.

Allthebest,
Ed Meloan
