Doug – I was stuck on a couple of trips and to top it off, the modem fried. We hade a bad storm here, everything is protected EXCEPT the phone lines, lost 2 modems and another is acting very funny now. So, a made scramble for modems ended with "oh well, Jacks going to be gone a few weeks…<g>. So I decide, hey lets look at the new $200 v.32/bis modems based on the Rockwell chips. Order a couple, find out yesterday they haven't arrived, called, "oh, they are now backlogged…". Wait – It gets better. So on my trip, run to the local store, grab a modem. Try to hook it up in the hotel, NOT. Can't get it to work via the hotel system. Ran back to Radio Shack, tried to hook up a vampire, but still the stupid clone modem would hang up the line when ever I tried to connect. So – had a wonderful 2 weeks of actually getting work done instead of spending a couple of hours a day… I was at Herc last week. Tried to duplicate the problem with the 800×600. 800×600 look'ed rock solid to us. We are using the VBE and bios utility for monitor timming. I'm still baffled…. Jack Bayt – Vibrant
