BG> What about the double-send bug, have you experienced that?

FM> Dunno, what's the symptoms?

Not sure, something about half-speed cps rates, MR light flashing, etc. 
I've never called a Spirit with a 14k4 Rockwell, so haven't personally seen
it.

Doesn't matter, if it was the same fault, no data transfer's possible anyway.

OK, no problem.  You'd know because no mail would be sent or received.

Almost immediately, as it happens.  After an extended negotiation phase,
the modems actually report a CONNECT/14400, but no data is transferred, and
I presume that if not manually aborted, the modems will eventually drop
out. Needless to say, I don't wait that long.  :)

Yeah, I know the feeling well.  How IS Rosie, BTW?  :)
