MNP Modems
Mike: It is nice up here. All the snow is gone where I live and we're
enjoying clear sunny weather in the 60's. It's still icebound in Prudhoe
Bay where I work however, and will be for another few weeks. I've noticed
something interesting. I just joined Peoplelink. I logged on directly
through their Chicago node and had a great connection. The data really
screamed in. Unfortunately, their protocols are limited (WXModem is their
best), and they don't have any automated term programs like Whap!. I
logged on 4 different times and had good results each time. No file
waitings either. I'm going to try logging on to CI$ via Seattle and see if
I get a better connection than from Fairbanks (100 miles away). BTW, I can
call Chicago or Seattle or just about anywhere in the lower 48 cheaper than
I can call Fairbanks. I just found that out. Rediculous isn't it?
