   I have my modem set for hardware flow control and BNU is locked at 57.6.
Would that be a cause if the caller had software instead of hardware flow
control turned on?

   The main reason I haven't, is because I only have a 125 meg hard drive
and can't afford any more.

 RJT> What didn't work?  What did it do?
  I tried to use {at}all in a local message base it is said no user by that
name.  I usually address a message to one user, then change to all and it
takes it.
