Hi folks, I keep getting these errors from my ISP and they don't seem to be 
able to help get rid of them.  They make for a very slow internet connection.
The errors are similar on two machines ; one running Warp 3 (FP 26+ Hayes 
Accura + SIO 1.6d + 8 meg RAM) and other other Warp 4 + Sportster 33.6 + SIO 
1.6d + 32 Meg RAM.
Both systems give great performance on local BBS connects with 0 errors
The following is my log (and comments) from my Warp 3 machine:

Any thoughts??? These errors mostly occur when pages with large amounts of 
graphics are downloaded - and the tranfer grinds to a halt.  What is 
interesting is that my ISP gave me the number for their secondary server and 
low and behold I received NO errors.  When I told them this they didn't know 
what the dfference could be but said stick with what works - very nice - 
until today when I noticed that they changed the addresses of the secondary 
server and now I get the same errors and frustration.  Also - they have just 
told me that they have changed to NT servers !  Is there something I should 
change or adjust to  get error free connects or what?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - Thanks very much ahead of time.
Cheers Joe
