It sounds like you have the hardware flow control not working correctly. Make sure your modem has the rts and cts lines wired up, and that yuo have the modem optioned for hardware flow control. You see, when you log in at 2400, the modem at the host is still talking to the host at the full rate, and expects to be able to tell the host to "wait up" when the host starts to overrun the modem's buffer. If you don't do that, you will see garbage on even moderately long listings. > > Any clues? > > > Thanks > > Samy > > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
