Hi Richard,

From me to him though is the problem, as you mention:

It's been years since I ran binkley.. maybe it's a corrupted file in something
like fastlst or whatever nodelist compiler he's got running.. you know, where
the passwords are entered for the node, that kind of thing.

Nothing that he recalls..

This is an external Zoom external 56kb .  I sent him the docs for that modem
today.. it was online.

> iT's a puzzler.  Hopefully we can find some help for him.

Yep..


Take care,
Janis
