PE> Your call today had two problems:

 PE> 1. You didn't connect with EC, I already have the results of
 PE> you connecting without EC. 

  I did not disable EC, and the book says it works on 1200 and above.
What more can I do?

  Are you sure you are recognising my MNP request? If you don't
respond, the Sportster runs without error control.

 PE> 2. The file transfer was aborted very early in the piece.

  It was failing quite nicely on the mail files. Doesn't your log work 
on mail files. If not, give me a shorter file than MSGAPI... something
around 30K. Life is too short to tie up my modem for an hour while my
zmodem sorts out the crap you keep sending.

 BL> It could still be CTS/RTS at your end. It may be that this
 BL> never gets asked to work at high speed, but at 2400 everything
 BL> blocks up and CTS/RTS is used every 6K (or whatever it was....
 BL> I forget) does not work, and then zmodem kicks in and asks to
 BL> resend. 

 PE> It has to get worked at high speed, because 57600 is miles
 PE> faster than 28800.

  Good theory. What's happening in practice?

  Have you tried disabling CTS/RTS and using XON/OFF? Let me know
if you want to actually try something instead of theorising.

Regards,
Bob
