Well, I am running sort of BBS. I am totally deaf so I use BBS to communicate with friends as well as exchanging files. Different baudrate is really necessary. I use Telebit for long distance file transfer and newsfeed. 2400 is quiet common. I wish to get rid of 1200 bauds but I have couple of best friends and my Dad are using 1200 bauds and they don't want to give up!! It is interested about your Arnet Smartport because you are the only person with positive comment about Arnet and I am getting about five negative comments. I thought Arnet is good for non-modem type terminal. Arnet tech support does not sounds good. I have software version 5.1.10. What is your version in software.
