- First of all, I have a hard time believing that just changing monitors
- causes all of this. But, anyway, here is a possible solution to the
- Terminus problem. One question: Are you using the Terminus Phone
- Book built-in dialer??? If you are, then you also *must* change the
- console prefs of the VAX dial phone book entry to the proper settings
- and save them *from within the phone book*. This is because every
- time you dial a new site with the phone book, it loads specific
- configuration entries for that site.

- Not sure about this one. Maybe your "NewMode" program has something
- to do with it?!?!?!

- Can't help you here, since I don't have a Supra modem.
