This is an important feature of Compuserve. With QuickB and Navigator, I often average 220 to 230+ characters per second download on a 2400 baud modem. You can also logon, collect your mail and forum messages and logoff and then read and reply at your leaisure. Compuserve w/ Navigator at 2400 baud is probably as good, if not better, deal as Genie at 1200 baud. Jerry Whitnell -- Jerry Whitnell jwhitnell@cup.portal.com ..!sun!cup.portal.com!jwhitnell
