 GR>          I rung today 16.June between 23.30 and 23.45 four times

 PE> 15 June actually, had me going for a while!  :-)

Sorry, I wrote simply the date I saw on the screen. My CP is still
set to summer time.. autsch.

 PE> Alt-L is what I meant, but it doesn't matter, I presume you just

correct

 PE> Can you dial my BBS and leave a contact # so that we can do

 PE> or 300 you should be able to get on.  Or else send netmail

did so, didn't help.

 PE> to 3:711/934.  [checks]  Oh, I see you have entered a phone

Ok, but I think we can't do much. The 2 modems talking to each other
and can't agree on what terms to communicate. The Avtek was build as
28.8 seem impossible and does spit the dummy when it "hears" a 28.8
singing "what about a 28.8 speed".

 GR> I add below a message from Blaise sysop of the netcomm BBS.
 -> BH> Ok but how are you connections to this BBS?                  
          

I translated that line as "we have M34F's on our lines..."
and did ask specifically if this is so. A direct answer was avoided.

 PE> from the above.  There is something seriously wrong with the 
 PE> Netcomm, and it appears to be line-dependant.  It needs someone
 PE> to take a look at it.  If you let Blaise know from your end that
 PE> you are still having the problem, even with the new beta ROMs in
 PE> the Netcomm, I'll send him the logs from my system.  Let him know
 PE> that I am sending the logs to do with your calls.

Ok

 PE> Don't ditch your modem yet - I'd like to see this problem resolved

me to, but I won't hold my breath.

Regards ... Gery
