I was experiencing a similar problem with my Data-over-Voice connection to CMU at 9600 bps (anyone know a way to allow UUCICO to work at 19200? :-)). My problem was that I was sending the signon data too fast. Our Micom port selector couldn't handle the data being typed in at true 9600 bps. Once I inserted a \d between each character sent, everything went fine. It's hard to believe that this would be your problem as well, especially since you're running at 2400 baud, but anything's possible. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Marc Shannon Internet Address (Bitnet name) | | VAX Systems Programmer SYNFUL@DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU (DRYCAS) | | Carnegie-Mellon University R602MS5U@VB.CC.CMU.EDU (CMCCVB) | | (412) 268-6290 "I mean, really, what could possibly go wrong?" | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
