its not the phone rechargine its memory so that rules out that one.

being on a AXE exchange its pretty noiseless, well compared to
the ole ARE's at any rate.

 RM> With your init strings- just use AT&F+MS=11,1,300,28800%E2\N3%C3&D0
 RM> This string is the most compatible.

 RM> PS. Have you tried calling other BBS's? Some of them have their own

every place i call i get the same probs, my ISP, and 4 other bbs'es,
my two uni's (which alone have a pool of 200 odd modems) :(

i will try that init string n see how it goes.
