 Thanks for getting back to me. I was just getting ready to ask you
what happened, when I saw this (it would have been the first and only FReq
failure here since 1997, as I run a tight Filebase).

The mailer log shows you connected at a DCE rate of 4800 Bps (which may be
good for a US-Australia connection, I don't know). I did read somewhere that
DTE (locked) rates should range 1x to 4x the DCE speed so this seems feasible
for 19.2k DTE.

I do get occasional uploads from the UK at 26.4k Bps so HS *can* be done with
the right equipment. I have also crash mailed other European sites with very
good results, though occasional failures. FYI, I use an external (expensive but
reliable) Rockwell chip-based V90/K56Flex modem from Phoebe micro that works
basically as a V-everything for Inbound calls. Except for upgrading the
firmware for possible V90 protocol glitches a couple of years ago, it has
performed extremely well.

Regardless, I lowered the File Request threshhold to 2400 Baud so if you want
to re-try it'll work now. Though I still have a working 300 Baud modem, I never
expected anything below 9600 for File requests .

I can send the file Direct or via E-mail if need be, just holler. [:-)
