I have asked about this several times over the last
several months, and you have been SO nice in your
answers.
Nonetheless, I'm still getting knocked off all the time.
(Thank god for your "resend" command! At least I can
finally get tar.gz files downloaded, even though
it will take three or four "redial" commands.)

Question: do you happen to have access to a SUN?
(That's what I have -- sparc5.)
(Assuming that having a sun makes a difference?)
Anyway, if I were to give you (via telephone) my
id and password for panix.com (uses pc's and netbsd plus
who-knows-what communication front-ends), would you
be willing to figure out what actually works best
for their dialin?
By the way, everyone else there (on their shell-acct
service) seems to use pc hardware and maybe also m$
software, and NO ONE BUT ME has any difficulty.
(Worked PERFECTLY(!) when I was using netcom's shell
service, but then earthlink closed it down, and
all of where were near NYC went to panix).

Heck, I could even come in there, modem in hand --
no problem for me, since I'm in the city a couple
of days each week ("concerned friends of wbai").
Thanks!
(And thanks so much for C-Kermit!)
