Msg 41645 is 06 line(s) on 04/04/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to EDGAR COUDAL re: LINE NOISE How is it compared to say 2 months ago before we got the new modem? It should be better, but then there's no way to avoid all problems. The noise could be on our line, or on your line. We now have USR ARQ (i.e. MNP) so if you're shopping for a new modem in the near future (or even far future ;-) you might consider MNP, which will handle errors. Msg 41646 is 03 line(s) on 04/05/89 from ROY LIPSCOMB to ROGER HAE re: CBBS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT Thanks for the bit of history. At the yard sale, I'm sure Randy told me that one or another piece of equipment was on loan to someone. I had always thought it was the modem card. Msg 41647 is 08 line(s) on 04/05/89 from ROY LIPSCOMB to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: CBBS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT "Getting the thing running again"? Do you still have the original software? As for hardware, I suppose you could get some "prosthetic" replacements for the parts that are missing. (Maybe paint them bright orange so viewers won't be misled!) I'm only in town sporadically ow, so any messages left here for me will take weeks to be read and responded to. If that's not fast enough, you can reach me at (812) 333-1874 eves. Or leave a message for Mike Andrews, and he can call me. dup. chars. >Function:?
