Oh Yeah!

Enjoyed squeaking to you. My voice is somewhat back.

Ah...I always manage to leave something out. Looking at the options in SETUP
I could not find an address similiar to what I tried to insert. I plugged
the value "a110" in anyway saved it and restarted ECS. That is where the
Modem Error message came in. I think ECS sees the address conflict between
the .DT file and Win95 and
disconnects the modem.

I'm hoping that I simply have put the wrong address in the DT file, as the
modem works outside of ECS just fine.

On another front, (and I'm sure our mail will cross paths) what did you have
in mind for the proposed new Phone Card?

Thanks again for your help yesterday.
