Oh.  Can 9600 do EC?

The mail bundles were pretty small, so aren't the best for testing, but
we've already tested 2400 no-EC.

"F" means that you're overdriving the modem.  The modem is
dropping CTS or RTS (can't remember which is which), ie asking your
computer to stop sending.  Telix sees the dropping of the ?TS line and puts
"F" on the screen.  You probably wouldn't have seen an
"F" if you had set your port speed to 2400, as opposed to telling
your modem to only connect at low speed.  BFN.  Paul.
