- If the modem lights are indicating that data is only being received every

- How COULD it be? The data doesn't get to your Amiga until AFTER your modem.

- Do you connect to the same ISP with your PC at work as with your Amiga at
- home? If not, that's the explanation - you have more bandwidth from work
- than your personal ISP.

- who can't log on from work! Luckily I'm not one of them. :-)
