Nancy, naw, you're not an airhead, it's just that telecomms seems to be the last black art of computing. Not a single one of our telecomms programs or modems can seem to agree on a method to do the setup. It's the only area where I spend much of my time, with a magifying glass, examining tables of dip switch and register settings in order to make the beast work properly. I'm dead certain I don't have mine correctly configured and I spent my life programming these beasties between sessions of fixing digital logics at the bit level with sub-microsecond binary words. We have autoconfiguring memory, autoconfiguring hard drives, why not autoconfiguring modems? Sad, very sad. Brian bjbart@watnxt01.ucr.edu
