No msg 46250 Msg 46251 is 07 line(s) on 05/16/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to PETE CANTELE re: R/LINE FEEDS heh, looks like you don't have an MNP modem. Come in at 2400, and with MNP, you shouldn't have line noise. I noticed CBBS is getting NO CALLS at anything other than 2400. I see the codes coming in correctly for other speeds, but I'll bet Randy set the switch on the modem for "fixed speed", so even a 1200 baud call is coming in at 2400 to CBBS. When CBBS switches to 1200, that hoses things up. Hmmm. Msg 46252 is 11 line(s) on 05/16/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/FAN CLUB > temperature sensitivity I had the strangest thing the other day. I opened the lateral mail drawer at work, and put my hand in to pull out something way deep in my mail slot (a pendaflex folder). I noticed it was warm. I started feeling around - bottom of the drawer, adjacent mail slots - I fully expected someone's laser-printed listing to be nearby supplying the heat, but I couldn't find it. I started moving my hand around my mail folder, and was amazed that I could "sense" a temp difference - I figure it must have been only a couple degrees, since there was nothing around that was supplying the heat. I also noticed how sensitive I am to "radiated" heat. Msg 46253 is 07 line(s) on 05/16/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to MICHAEL SHARTIAG re: R/FLOPPY COPY PROT & SOLUTION I hate to admit it, but "lawyers" is the best solution to your problem. They should hire a lawyer and threaten the company due to the down days, and be "willing to settle" if the company will come up with some scheme to get around the copy protection. I remember having my first MIDI program be copy protected (and maybe even the one I use now, I forget) - and I thought: "Boy, this is enough to make sure I never do professional MIDI stuff - a little glitch on the hard disk and POOF you are D_E_A_D." Msg 46254 is 03 line(s) on 05/16/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to MICHAEL SHARTIAG re: R/IDE TIMING PROBS.
