Jean, you will have to get back to me with the number you want to call as I am not on AOL. Just a side note the figure 57600 is a port speed not a modem connect speed.

Hm. I'll have to ask. It's a fax program, one that came with Win 3.1, I should think, unless another came with the upgrade to Win 95, or else the one that comes with the Sportster x2. >> BM> 2.

Not that I can see, but then I'm not that familiar with faxing, inasmuch as this is the first time I've done it. I thought that perhaps the sender could override my settings, or perhaps the modems might shift up if the line seemed to allow it. There is a way to lower it when I send, and this works where it counts, where I was otherwise sending illegible faxes. -------- 01-03-98 1.70 c:\bgfax\BGFAX.EXE /fco:4 c:\bgfax 2 z /nf 10:49:09 Port 2, Initial DTE 115200, Multitasker None, DOS 6.22 10:49:10 f=[+FTI:" "] 10:49:10 null id received 10:49:10 f=[+FCS:1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0] 10:49:10 c2dcsf [1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0] High Res, 9600, 1D-MH, 0 ms/sl I note that when I send, I get the FCS and the FIS in the log, while on receipt, the log shows only FCS, as above.

Mike, by no means will I or out on a limb and say it will or it won't work with your UK modem, I simply do not know.
