hi there, until now i thought that i just had a bad telephone line, but now it's getting pretty bad. my built-in modem drops the line usually after about 7-9 minutes on-line... in the beginning it was better during the night, but now even that isn't so. i'm using the tp701's built-in modem under win95 (with 16MB if it's of any importance), using the standard values, so it says 19.2 connect rate (which seems to be true, since i got ftp-transfers faster than 14.4, if my calculations were correct) when using ppp to the university. is that over spec, by the way? is there anything i can to to get more reliable connects, say maybe reducing the speed to 14.4, or do i have to ship the 'pad to ibm - i really want to avoid that, i'm addicted to it :) on the other hand, i don't want to leave it "broken". here (in the states), i can just re-establish the connection, but when i go back to germany, every new connection will cost real money... whine, axel hartmann ....................................................................... .
