I see this occasionlly,but a retry always works. Sorry, it looks a bit more complicated. So far I had NEVER succeeded trying to connect to SIMTEL20. No matter if I try it at noon, or 11:30PM. The only response I'm getting is "Connection: timed out". It NEVER lets me through. Do you mean it's THAT busy? Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Uri. --------------
