Hi, Rod.

RS> BL> I've got the linked script in this morning's (Sunday's) mail.

RS> PE> Well done!  No delay whatsoever, you are now the

RS> FM> Bob, can you tell me *exactly* what you've done, please?

RS> FM> AAMOI my *connects* this week at 2400 with the Netcomm
RS> FM> 1234 are about 8 seconds faster than with the Spirit.

RS> Part of thats normal, 2400 has always had a shorter negotiation

Figured that, guess I was surprised at how *much* difference.

RS> time, which is why some people crashmail short netmail at 2400,
RS> even long distance, coz the saving on negotiation time is more than

Makes sense.

RS> FM> Of course the bloody file transfers are a nightmare.
RS> FM> Oh well, back to normal tomorrow with a new power supply.

RS> Or you could get a real modem. Jeeze, two of the biggest duds known
RS> to man, you really do get sucked into some doozys dont you boy ? |-)

The 1234 fell off the back of an office, no other problem with the
Spirit apart from when it somehow got wine inside it... When I used to
read Aust_Modem there seemed to be many others worse.

Regards, FIM.
