Same uucp config, modem, cables, ether cards, vid card and external host as a the previous setup which works perfectly. The only difference apart from the motherboard is a new AHA 2940 UW. Have tried all speeds, hard/soft handshaking, a different modem, pleading and cursing to no avail. Thanks for any help you can give.
