Thanks for your comments Mike. I used to use 8N1 before all these problems started, and was advised by Compuserve to change to 7E1. I just tried changing back to 8N1 and even after ignoring the garbage and logging on, I still got garbage. (Well not quite, the words were mostly recognizable.) BTW I used Xmodem to upload my previous message. The fact is, neither 8NI or 7E1 works properly with the USRobotics Sportster. What puzzles me is why all seems well when calling other than CIS. I don't know for sure whether Baud Bandit2 v1.2 is completely compatable with AmigaDOS 3.x but it is an advanced ANSI commmercial program written by Greg Cunningham (who also wrote DiskMaster amongst others) dated 1992. It has extensive AREXX support and is very intuitive. It does not have the ability to strip off the high bit, but has CharMask 127/255 for special IBM or ANSI characters. It seemed to work well up to this point. I was using Compuserve B+ before. I can't believe that Greg Cunningham has disappeared off the face of the earth! I had downloaded AutoPilot some while ago and this looked to me that it would take precious time to master and I couldn't see just how it would much improve what I do now. I'm open to persuasion though :-)u
