           Hello Pete,

     Thanks for your reply. Yes, hardware flow control is enabled in
   Hyperterminal and I am using the TAPI interface. I have partly
   worked around the problem by connecting only at 19200 bps to
   BBSs. This results in better connects / uploads. But still I
   use 115,00 bps to my ISP with blinding downloads and a rock
   solid 33.6 connection. Figure that out!!!!!

     The tech guy from Creative Labs blamed the phone lines and also
   suggested that I disable error correction ( why?? ) which I have
   not tried yet.

                      Any other thoughts?

                                Andrew Strong,

... I used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead.
