Bart, The encyclopedia and atlas only work with the macintosh software. Nothing on them I can access with the Amiga. Same with the animals cd. My LineLink has been OK so far. Still no GPFax to try with it. Sometimes I don't get a CONNECT on CIS and have to hangup and redial. Once in a while the MR LED goes dark and I sit and wait for it to light back up. Sometimes it times out and AP disconnects. However, for the most part MR comes back on and the session continues and ends normally afterwards. For $99 + S&H I don't think I made a bad purchase, the data transfers have been near perfect, and I don't think the LineLink has anything to do with the AutoPilot "looping threads" problem I've been encountering off and on for the last several weeks. BTW, now that I've mentioned it here, have you encountered these LOOPING THREADS? A section of threads continues to be repeatedly scrolled by CIS until either the rest of the threads are read or the system hangs until you click on OFFLINE NOW? When you read that forum's messages you'll find a couple hundred and they repeat themselves over and over somewhere within the capture. I'll also get a requester informing me that there is a message header missing or somesuch thing and then it starts over again. Real weird, can't figure it out, others have been affected, and it doesn't appear that AP is sending the request to repeat the loop. Just real weird, ah well, Happy Easter, Christopher
