No offer of credit for phone bill. Surprise. Seems to work OK now. Or it did until now – just gone down again. Incidentally I use AP, set serial speed to 57,600 and have a 28k modem The dialling message at the top of the AP window says "connecting 28800" but I don't think it is – whenever I try to download I only get ~ 1600 cps whereas on CIX I get ~ 5/6000
