A friend of mine has just set up and is running a BBS on a Tandy 1000 (this is really an Apple // question, honest) using a fully Hayes compatible 300/1200 baud modem at 8N1 and Wildcat software. He has set up sections for MS-DOS machines, Apples, Macs, Ataris, etc. However, not a single Apple // user has been able to get onto the board. IBM users, Mac users, etc, have all had no problem, but for some reason no // users can get on. Apparently the modems don't make the appropriate connections. Does anybody have any idea what's going on? BTW: The bulletin board is Li'l BBS at (517) 629-5511, 24 hours/day, 8N1. Any help would be _very_ appreciated by me and my friend. Please email back to me and if there is interest, I'll post a summary to the list. Many thanks in advance. Kevin Lepard Bitnet: Sasquatch@albion.bitnet

I did ===> NOT FIND A MODEM <=== at that number!!!!!
In fact, isn't that the phone number in you're "From" line? Has Albion
received LARGE numbers of "noone's there" phone calls this weekend (sorry
about that, but I don't have a handset on this phone line)?

How many different term programs have you tried? I don't think it would be
a modem problem.
