Greetings All!
   Below is a chopped down copy of my DIALING.TRC trace file. I've just spent 
a day trying to get registered with IBM's Internet service so I can maybe 
finally get my copy of Warp registered. The software registration program 
connects (carrier sounds etc..) then exits with a Communications Error box 
saying the service is not responding. So I figured I'd hit the INet and do it 
that way.
   Well, after a full day of screwing with it and numerous calls to the help 
desk I still can't hook up with them. The mass of XXXX's is the data I filled 
out in the REGISTER routine for the INet service. The 'Hang-up pressed' was 
due to the number of times I've been through this and didn't feel like 
waiting the 30 or 40 more seconds the connect would have lasted.
   Anyone have any ideas why I can't get the data flow going on these 
connects? The help desk told me a)the US registration number in the 
PHONES.LST file is no longer in service, though the login appears to say 
differently. Not to mention that that copy of the numbers was DL'ed earlier 
in the day from the IBM BBS, and b)That I could change the number to my local 
area site and reg. through them. That method results in a hangup right after 
the first '* (register)' is sent.
   This is really getting annoying since all I really want is to get Warp 
registered with IBM and am told that the Registration Programs Modem option 
or Internet option are the only two that are acceptable these days. Any help 
or tips would be appreciated. And if anyone can give me a FREQ address for 
the 1.45 version of DIALER.EXE I'd appreaciate it. Supposedly it works 'well' 
with SIO (recommended by document #103 from the help desk) but the version I 
got from the IBM BBS (INST145.EXE) craps out almost at the start saying it's 
a corrupt file or some such thing.
   Running a WARP 4 Upgrade over the Red Box v3 floppy version which had 
FIXPACK 17 installed. Also using the updated TCPIP files that Bob Juge has 
online. Would doing and install of the Warp Connect package from the Red 
Box's Bonus Pack help? I know it's an older version of DIALER.
