I managed to find someone with a 56k Flex modem, and it connected at a maintained 48k which is excellent, even for a V90 ! I have always found it interesting how someone somewere says something, and what they have said then becomes fact, doesnt matter if it is write, or wrong. The other myth I have managed to dispell is one were it was claimed you should never use COM1 for an external modem. I suspect that was linked to early computers using Wins v31 were mice were always plugged into com1 as the default (except for me :-) Cheers Ian Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ Now back to my evil money-grabbing agenda... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
