Well I'm using Crosstalk 1.1 For windows and still have the same damn
problem. I'm also using a 2400 baud modem and this is getting annoying
sometimes especially when I log on from home and have huge editting
sessions. If the screen ends up falling behind at 2400 bps what would
happen at 9600 bps. Does anyone out there use a 9600 bps modem with
windows? If so, what are the results, can it handle 9600 baud without
errors!

Note: regardless of what communications package being used if you have
      windows and a 9600 bps modem, I would like to know how they are
      together.

					      Thanks for responses!
