CompuServe Messages

Marcel, We're glad to have you with us on CompuServe. The first thing you need to do to speed up downloads is to change to B or B+ protocol. It is the fastest and most accurate you can use here. X-Modem is the oldest, slowest, and most troublesome. I think Baud Bandit will support B protocols. If you can update your system to 2.04 or 2.1, then you can use AutoPilot, an automated program for CompuServe that outdoes any other off-line reader I've seen for any network. You'll find a demo of it in AmigaVendor, Library 9, AP.LHA. But it won't run under 1.3. You'll do yourself a BIG favor if you do update your machine. 2.1 is a tremendous improvement over 1.3 in many ways, and much of the newer software just won't run under the 1.x versions. Please let us know whenever we can be of help to you. —Betty
