For hayes compatable try something like this: AT &F1 &C1 &D2 S0=0 S95=3 W2^M At the very least, that'll fix your incorrect baud rate problem. Also, may I _STRONGLY_ suggest switching to Ray Gwinn's SIO + VX00 for your Fossil/Com driver. I suspect that would clear up anything that init string doesn't. :) P.S. if it's a USRobotics (or compatable), init it with AT&F, and let it go. Both my USR's work great with the factory defaults. :) Adam L. --- Renegade v10-05 Exp * Origin: iNSoMNia * 817-788-8175 * Hurst Tx * (1:130/113.3) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 251 OS2 BBS Ref: DEW00007 Date: 10/16/96 From: PETER HOLMES Time: 08:38pm \/To: PETER ROSEWALL (Read 3 times) Subj: Numbers in Excel Dear Peter.
