Hi Mike,

 MR> I have the same problem. it appears its a bug common with Telix as

When I first installed my modem (internal) it worked perfectly, apart from 
the problem with actually making a connection, and I never had any problems
at all with Telix for Windows. The problem with the estimated time for
download only seems to have occurred since I started fiddling with the result
codes command on the advice of Bill Grimsley. However, the incorrect 
estimated time does not seem to interfere with the actual speed  and accuracy
of the download, so if I do not find out why it is happening it doesn't worry
me too much!
Most of my downloads come thru at 3100 -3200cps  approx. 
Incidentally, I previously had a 14400 internal USR Sportster, and it never
gave me any trouble at all, and neither did Telix.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Regards..................Warwick
