PE>> That is correct, I changed S27 to 48 as directed in AUST_MODEMS.

BG>>                                         ^^^^^^^^

BG>> Tell me, do you always do as you're told, without first
understanding the

BG>> consequences?  Nice register to be fucking around with, too.



 PE> He told me to try S27=32 and S2=48.  I looked at the first one and

 PE> said "get fucked".  The second one I thought I would test.  I am

 PE> happy to do tests as requested within reason.  I wasn't happy to

something.

 PE> What I CAN say is that when I had my modem, no-one had any useful

The "HE" you are refering to is probably me.

S27=48 is the only way I can get a connection at all (Just rings, answers &

then hangs up otherwise) on one of the first release Maestro V.FC modems that

I connect to everyday (at 26400 from home, I might add, and 28800 everytime

from FNQ).



PE>> All that did was show up another bug in the Courier.  Nay, TWO bugs now 

PE>> that you've added that you had a failed call.



BG>> Nope, I simply have no faith in you getting it right, that's all.



 PE> You have no faith in my ability to go S27=48?  Coming from 

 PE> someone with as much egg on their face as you, that is rich.

 PE> BFN.  Paul.
