.. One fine day, Bill waffled to Dieter..

 Hello Bill,

 DM> But why do I have the problem, and no-one else ??

 BG> If it's any consolation,

 No, not really :-)

 BG> I have similar problems with Paul's Spirit,
 BG> which is one of the reasons I only poll TML once or twice weekly now. 
 BG> I just got fed up with every 3rd or 4th connect failing to negotiate
 BG> properly.

 Your failed connects would be cheaper than my local calls. :-(

 BG> BTW, USR have just announced a new V.34+ (33600bps) EPROM upgrade for
 BG> V.34 Sportsters such as mine, and for only US$24.95.  Who needs a
 BG> Courier now? :)

 Me ?

 Dieter
