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

 Hello Rod,
 
 DM> I had thought it was the serial I/O cable, but that
 DM> fixed the slow upload speeds but not the bad connects.

 RS> That does appear to be the problem the Spirit has getting a connect at
 RS> times.
 RS> That does appear to be sensitive to something about the phone line
 RS> detail. 
 
 But why do I have the problem, and no-one else ??
 
 Dieter
 

... My hard disk is full! Maybe I'll try this message section thing.
