Yes, Term should work. But AutoPilot is much better <bg>. First of all: After your modem connected with CIS you have to hit "return" once or twice to get a prompt. Maybe you will have to use 7-E-1 instead of 8-N-1 in your Term serial settings to get readable text. You can change your CIS settings to Latin-1 later and return to 8-N-1 in Term. You will then find some garbled lines immediately after modem connect. I think you can still guess what they mean: Host: (type "CIS" or whatever access you use), UserID: (type yours), password: (type yours). After that (strange, I admit) login procedure CIS will greet you with readable text again. Maybe you can set "Strip bit 8" in Term serial to get clean text from start. I heard that but never tried. Hope that helps, Joachim Sondermann-Bieker on Amiga AutoPilot 1.77 from Cologne, Germany
