I've been trying to get into the Motorola BBS at 512-891-3733 for a couple of months. I was not able to get a carrier detect somtimes (using several machines/modems, so the problem is not on my end); other times I did not get an answer. If anyone knows the status of the BBS please post it here. Thanks, Greg -------------------------------------------------------------------- J.
