Hi Hank, > I tried to log onto Cis with AP and had to redial 4 times before getting a connection. The connection was at 12k (usually 14.4k). My AP setup is at 14.4 for the first phone number, and I have the other numbers set at inactive I know, that this will *not* help you, but here in Europe the nodes of CIS are often so busy, that it is *usual* by now, to have to dial twice to get one connect! As far as I have heard the roumors, CIS-Members have doubled (!) the last 6 months! That will cause trouble. Anoter possibility is, that the quality of your phoneline has fallen. In that case your modem and the one of CIS will reduce speed. Only to *not* exchange pure garbage. This will happen automatically. (I have heard of an AT command, where you can forbid that [I don't remember it now <sigh>] but there will be a severe danger: In case of a bad line, occuring during a connection, you are thrown out.) Hope that helps you cu Ernst >=====on AutoPilot_1.80 [what else?] for AMIGA—–> from Europe/Austria/Vienna
