When I got up this morning, there was no mail! Shock horror!

I checked the logs and JabberWOCky had connected about 40 times with
marwick, then promptly hung up.

I turned on the modem speaker and polled again.  It did exactly the same thing.

After thinking I must have stuffed up the session password (the nodelist
compiled in the night), I thought I would poll Paul (Edwards) instead.  It
hung up on connect with him too!

It seems that with the "full connect info" screen turned on, the
NetComm does NOT return a CONNECT 28800 string which Binkley seems to be
looking for to determine the connect.  I turned \V back to 0 and tried
again. 

It worked!  Bloody bland stats though.

With \V9 the stats screen returns 

Terminal    : 57600 

and 

Line        : 28800 

strings, so I got Binkley to look for the LINE one.  It acknowledged a
connect, but was unable to decide the speed and posted 57,600.  This plays
havoc with the transfer efficiency percentage (I got 3393 cps downloading
an EXE from Paul).

I phoned the local M34F with the Sporty, and then the Sporty with the M34F:

I'll let you feed these figures through your analyser and decide what they mean :-)
