Hi Micheal

 MXM>   A Sysop friend of mine has this problem:

 MXM>   She runs a Maximus BBS with a Binkley front end, under DESQview.
 MXM>   =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

 MXM>   Sometimes when there is line-noise or an inability to handshake
 MXM>   properly while a user is trying to log-on, Binkley will crash and
 MXM>   freeze up her PC.

 MXM>   Any ideas?
                     NO
Is the Modem working properly?
are the settings right?
is there a memery conflict?
When the other computer is trying to connect
or inability to hand shake properly  that is your modem settings
reduce you modem speed to 38400  or less
You can always change it later
take out the Modem data compression settings  you dont need them
as files are all ready compressed  
use the plain vanilla settings.
I hope this helps

Cheers HArry
