Dunn) Distribution: na Organization: McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario Lines: 21 I have had various parts of your problems in the past. I had an ATI 2400 etc (2400 baud with MNP levels 1-5) at work this summer. I set it up with Procomm Plus in host mode and tried calling it from home at 2400 and 1200 baud with and without MNP. I don't recall exactly what happened, but in every case I managed to connect but everything that was transmitted was garbage. Also, the modem I used to use at home was secondhand and didn't have documentation, so I didn't have the switches set correctly on it. From DOS, it was COM1:; from Procomm, I had to set the port address and interrupt number to be equal to those for COM2:! This doesn't make any sense, as the two things that determine how you access the modem are its interrupt number and port address, so if they were set for the COM2: specifications, it should haev been COM2:! -- Stephen M.
