Hi Pete,

[Thus spake Peter Collis unto Sunny Leung:]

 SL> Recently I've noticed my ARQ light flickering on certain
 SL> connects. After the connect I do an ATI6 and notice heaps of
 SL> Blers. Is this a problem?

 PC> If this is while connected to Computropolis BBS then i get the same
 PC> thing, it seems to be at regular intervals so there might be something
 PC> effecting the lines.

It's with my ISP. I think its the lines because I don't get many block
errors with other places that I call e.g. Computropolis where I get less
than 10 blers each connect.
 
 SL> I also notice that these Blers tend to happen where the connect
 SL> is using v.42 SREJ. However, transfer rates don't seem to be
 SL> greatly affected, if at all. I'm wondering whether I should be
 SL> worried.

 PC> I haven't noticed that but i wouldn't worry about it, just the joys of
 PC> high speed comms.

It's just the bloody blinking. I had to know what it means 
 
Sunny
