Hi Greg, maybe you can help me. I have an avatex 1200 modem and ONLINE terminal prgm. Problems is when I get the CONNECT promt from prgm, and I hit carraige return I keep getting host name over and over again. It dosnt let me get anything in. Maybe you have some ideas. I already ran out. My settings on workbench are 7 read,7write,even, 300 baud,handshaking I've tried all, 1 bit. on my avatex, the switch are factory set to down,up,down,up,down, down,down,down. and on the ONLINE prgm the settings are same as Workbench. Any ideas Greg? C/U/L Bruno

The 'normal' response to the connect prompt is to hit ^C. If you hit return you'll get "HOST NAME:" — that's fine too — type CIS.

Steve I know that, but this darn thing wont let me type anything in it just keeps repeating host name continuously. I guess compuserve is recieving something (even though I'm not sending anything) because after about three request for host name it starts writing error after host name. this is really wierd.

Bruno, Check your "DUPLEX" and "ECHO". BOTH should be set to OFF. Sounds like the "host" prompt is getting echoed back to the sender. Lloyd
