- Dave, can you please mail/post your register settings if it's not
- too expensive (with a line re: who you talk to and what rate you get) ?
-
- I just purchased a Scout+ and have been totally unable to connect
- to my feed site, who runs a WorldBlazer...I connect, but everything's
- total garbage till the modem punts and hangs up. I've walked through
- all *E0 to *E10 and the modem either disconnects immediately or it
- gets garbage .
-
- I get 1620 cps zmodem to a USR-DS and have gotten 640 cps uucp to
- a trailblazer, so the modem itself can connect to stuff.

- - ok, you have a (insert major maker here) on one end
- and you have a (insert other one here) and I'm
- talking [slip|uucp|zmodem], set your registers thusly...
- - here's how you can get a list of known bugs between your
- modem and modem X.

-
- They have a lot of nerve calling it a "users' manual". It's neither
- a manual nor for users. Worst piece of useless junk I ever read.
