Essentially, all wrong combination = failure. All you have to do is go through the manual one page at at time. Read the register descriptions, and then the register to the value needed. You don't need to know what the other person is doing with the exception of doing spoofing, then you set register s111 to 255 when being called. Did you REALLY read the manual. Look at table 5-1. You do ~&F, then S55=4 (or appropriate) then s66=1. Then you run. That works for most cases. You mention you are and avid computerist and that you are 48. You age probably has a lot to do with, when you put on a few more years and get to be as old as I am you should be able to get on up an running in 1/2 hour or so. :-) !! Chalk your problems up to immaturity :-=) :-) :-) My 2500 joins my prevous TB+, and I wouldn't have anything else. The HSTs I connect to have no problems with the v.32 or v.42. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
