I have the answer, and it's going to make everyone groan! As far as I could tell, there was nothing wrong. And the hints/tips all you kind souls sent me were things I'd already looked for (mostly). In escense, no one could work out why it was happening. The answer: some silly billy had given me a phone number that connected to a 14.4 modem! D'oh! I can't believe I wasted all these hours looking for a problem that was nothing to do with me or my system! :) Many thanks to all, Jason. -- +----------- <*> http://www.thehub.com.au/~jasonk <*> ---------------/// | "Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight, /// Vorlon | Oh I'm praying somebody tries to break in here tonight!" \\\/// Inside +------- <*> From Wierd Al Yankovic's "Trigger Happy" <*> -------\XX/
