Well, I am running sort of BBS.  I am totally deaf so I use BBS to
communicate with friends as well as exchanging files.  Different
baudrate is really necessary.  I use Telebit for long distance file
transfer and newsfeed.  2400 is quiet common.  I wish to get rid of
1200 bauds but I have couple of best friends and my Dad are using 1200
bauds and they don't want to give up!!   It is interested about your
Arnet Smartport because you are the only person with positive comment
about Arnet and I am getting about five negative comments.  I thought
Arnet is good for non-modem type terminal.  Arnet tech support does not
sounds good.   I have software version 5.1.10.  What is your version in
software.

You can mail to my home  philchuck!rwing!seaeast!willyp.
