If you have vintage 1988 hardware, you should select 9600. If you have
newer hardware you should select 19200. With anything that does error
correcting or compression, the effective speed varies depending on the
quality of the line and the amount of redundancy in the data. It's
necessary to have flow control, to make things work reliably, and if you
have flow control, you don't need to match speeds exactly.

A 14.4 (or faster) modem will talk to the PC it is attached to at speeds up
to 56 or even 115k baud. So 19.2k should be fine.

Thanks a lot, Scott and Marcus! This is a great improvement.

Thanx, Marcus! BTW, -3000 is not the best line for all occasions.
Just now I got an endless ring on -3000, but got right in on -4931.
Is this a bug or a feature?

Ameritech has to fix one of our lines, 761-9671. It became dead a couple
weeks ago. That might be part of the problem. Also, next time count the
number of rings... dead modems are skipped after 2-3 rings.

Dave, it's called a trunk hunt. I can't believe you don't know this after
years of using m-net and grex.
If a line is ringing open, it's not necessarily the one you dial.
Unfortunately, there's no way for the trunk hunt to know that the line is
ringing open. So you justh ave to dial down the trunk hunt until you get PAST
the open line...

Not true. Because we have Centrex lines, we can (and do!) program the trunk
hunt to skip after X rings with no answer. So if a modem dies, the hunt will
ring 2 or 3 times, then will move on to the next line in the hunt. Of course,
if you give up after a couple rings you aren't letting that system do its job.

Also, if all the lines are in use except for the one that is ringing open,
I think it keeps ringing open rather than ringing a few times and then going
busy.
Anyhow, the line that was dead has been fixed. There should not be open
ringing anymore.

I got three rings on 3000, waited, and connected.

So I changed it by remming it out:
# This line defines your pager. Delete it if you want your text to scroll
# continuously; then use control-S and control-Q to pause and resume
scrolling.
# define pager "more -d"

I wonder if Ameriwreck messed up some of our lines when fixing the one
mentioned above (9671). That might explain the dropped characters and
other stuff that people have been mentioning lately.

Errr...The Kermit people get a bit testy when others distribute
Kermit. Did you get permission to do so?

I have Mac-Kermit 0.991(190) (1994) on my Powerbook but haven't brought it
over to this PowerMac. Instead I got a copy of ZTerm 1.01, and us it when
I want a terminal connection. So, I just went looking on Info-Mac, and
0.991(190) is all that is available still. If anyone wants it they can
download it from the archive. It's free. If anyone wants a copy and doesn't
yet have ftp capability, I'd be glad to copy it to your (HD) disk - it's
860K.

Well that's only because we don't have a Sergeant-at-Arms (though
goodness knows we need one).

Looks to me like the officers have different numbers of letters in their
names. Should we try for uniformity there too?

But they do have a natural progression.
