G'day Keith,well you can forget about using X and Y-modem thru a packet network…it cost me heaps to find that one out!!..in fact check out for Computer Sciences Corporation access , as that seems to be the most reliable access to CI$ here…it may be under the Infonet banner as it now is here. If you feel rich enuff,and it maybe cheaper calling over here to Australia,you can call my bbs on +61 75 46 3252 all speeds to 9600,and download Whap! version 1.7 from me.I've already got Whap!,and if it wasn't for Whap! I just wouldn't be calling CI$ !! Anyway,if you do call my bbs,leave me a msg with your CI$ ppn in it,and i'll give you free access to grab Whap!…give me a chance to upgrade you,and call back. Just ask if you want anymore help ok? C u laitr Brendan Pratt – Queensland,Australia. Beautiful one day, Perfect the next!

Thanks very much for your offer, however I have succeeded in using XMODEM to COMPUSERVE over PACNET. I call PACNET on 2400bps, make a call to TELENET then access CIS. I've already been able to download GIF, ARC & PAC files and am checking out RLE files. Once downloaded they work ok. I shall attempt to get WHAP! from here, if not, I'll let you know. Might even give your BBS a call anyway sometime to see what is there. Thanks again.
