CompuServe Messages

I've checked out the mbox forwarding and it appears that the messages are going out OK. I watched a scrambled trace then logged into the board and read the message. The text was fine. A few fellows that were using the chatnode said they didn't see any scrambled packets even though the screen display of their text was quite jmbled. I tried dropping back to a 2 color workbench (yech) but that didn't seem to help. Will have to try the default serial port next. Has anybody tried the mbox sysop password. I've tried it with a simple password of a and when presented with 0 0 0 0 0, I responded aaaaa (and also a a a a a). I couldn't get into remote mode. I've tried everything I can think of and couldn't get it to work. Any ideas? Steve
