Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5368 (PROBLEMS)
Although I haven't tried exactly everything you've mentioned exactly, I have enough evidence from what I've done and what I've read, that its the way the Bradley server reads my Model 100, especially since one arm of Bradley reads OK (the freenet), and the other arm doesn't. What I'm hoping to discover from here is, based on the symptoms, something of a technical description of where the problem lies that could be changed by changing my settings there if I were able to describe it in some universal terms that the folks there understand. Talking about Model 100's is like talking Greek. Using my Model 100 isn't essential since we both have computers at our offices; its the convenience of connecting in the home rather than staying later at work. Of course, I could get another computer, but I hesitate to spend anything on a temporary solution when what I really want is a PowerMac, but with one kid in college and another starting next year I don't think that'll happen until they're probably outdated too. Changing the topic back to evidence, someone last week suggested that the initial handshake (is this the right term?) between our two systems might have something to do with it, and "esc z" was memtioned as an example. This is definitelysomething that changed between when Bradley worked for me and when it quit. When it worked, I had to provide three "returns" in a "1---23" cadence before I'd get my first prompt. With the new server, I get the first prompt instantly. there May be communication, but its very fast and without any intervention on my part? Is there any clue here? (-8>
