Re: re:that nasty little attachment

Make sure your com port settings on which the modem is installed is set to
115,200 and then click on modem icon in control panel and hit properties,
under general settings make sure that the maximum speed is set to 115,200.
Then click on settings and choose advance, make sure use error control is
'NOT' checked and use flow control 'IS' checked and that the hardware
(rts/cts) is checked. On the same screen under "Extra settings"  Type in
AT&F1. click ok then close windows and restart your computer.......the next
time you connect to the net look at what the speed of your connection
is............The phone company is full of "You know what" when they say
you can only connect at 28,800.

Good luck let me know if you have any problems.
