Jim: Thanks for responding. The answers to your questions are ass follows: Parity – None , Data Bits – 8, Version of Modem0.device – 1.6 baud 2400, transfer protocal – CIS B+ binary. I should also not that i sometimes loose characters on the screen coming in from CIS. That seems to be something which has occured recently. Also set for full duplex. Would any other info help? Thanks Dudley

OK – the Supra modem0.device Version 2.x appears to NOT work with AmigaDOS V2.04, so you have no problem with your V1.6. To log on with JrComm, you might try 7 data bits instead of 8. CIS will automatically change to 8 when you download a file using B+ protocol. Are you running a bunch of tasks at the same time, or playing a game while logged on? If the CPU is asked to do a bunch of extra work while transmitting or receiving data, then try not to do such things. Have you successfully used your current modem with any other telecommunications product at 2400 baud? Do you have call waiting? Normally this telco service causes your modem to think that DTR has dropped and you loose your connection. When all else fails, you might try check the fit of your RJ-11 plugs in your modem and telephone jack. I would think that LOOSING characters would be indicative of either your modem or your CPU being unable to keep up with the flow from/to CIS. Garbage characters would be something else. Perhaps someone else will have some more or better ideas. – Using Whap! (from Southern Illinois) (Internet: ca0008@siucvmb.siu.edu)
