Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6584 (WE'RE BACK!)

Howdy Rick,
 
Nice to have the board back!
 
Two things happened since I was on last: 1) your Dock troubles and 2) a new  
28.8 modem for me!
 
I gotta ask a dumb question... what's the maximum speed on your board? The  
opening menu says up to 2400, but I must have had my old modem set at 14.4 and
it would "kick down" just fine.
 
Am having trouble logging on with a script (same one as before) with this new  
modem, but am wondering too if something might have changed at your end when  
you came back from using these lines for the Dock. 
 
What happens is that right after the prompt for "First Name?" I get the ascii  
symbol for a "club" (I believe that's ASCII 005), like on a pack of cards,  
then several spaces, and then the two letter side-by-side, "rJ", like that. 
 
Then my script halts (am using QuickLinkII, by the way) and I log on manually.
No big deal, but kinda strange... 
 
Any thoughts?! Dunno if it's my new modem, or what... thought it would "kick  
down" to 2400 like my old one did, but then I deliberately set the parameters  
for this board to 2400 and that didn't help either. Wierd!
 
TIA,
 
 ... Paul
