Treworgy "You should have seen me with the poker man, (signature deleted for some measure of brevity) Well, *I* had an entirely different thing happen: Using a 1200 baud modem I called from (4 letter word ahead do *NOT* blanch! ;-) ) a Mac II running Kermit (which does VT100 emulation) from work (Ball State University , which kindly lets me use their equipment... :-) ) and had NO problems what so EVER, I logged in, 'filled out' the application, and was INSTANTLY approved*.. Hmm... just out of curiosity, what *TYPE* of 2400 baud modem were YOU using, I have heard that the Supra 2400 generates a slightly 'off' 2400 baud TONE, so that could have been your problem.. then again, the HST modem could have mistaken you for a BALROG and logged you off in self defense!!!! :-) :-) :-) Sincerly a VERY satisfied Hobbit Hole user (and DEVOUT Tolkien fan!) *Note: the Sysop 'Bilbo' was 'on' when I called, and approved me after I had filled out the application, he seemed like a thouroughly (sp?) nice guy, and even helped me FIND the Cross-dos .zoo file... DL'ed the file in a little under 1 hour to boot, at 1200 Baud, that was D^&N good throughput!!!!!! (was about 103,000 bytes long...) David C. Powell M.I.S.
