I get CRC errors occasionally when calling Paul.
Just checked and they are NOT showing in FD log (2.02)
Another look.....
None showing in the 2.12 log either :-(

Running DOS comms under Win does not increase the frequency of CRC errors
at this end. Also Running DOS comms under DOS does not reduce their
frequency.

Any call to the eastern shore of Hobart, will get them. Local calls to a
BBS on the same exchange will get them 50% of the time.  STD calls to Paul
about 10% of the time, STD calls to Launceston and SA about 1%.

Down here, it appears to be more of a line problem than an operating system problem

Put me on the list Paul.
