Did something change at clout recently?  Up until a few days ago I used
to connect there at 12000 or 14400 (v.32bis).  Now I can still connect
to the university's Gandalf server at that rate and get their text
screen.  But when I enter "tip" and get the "CONNECTED" message...
Nothing.

On a whim today I tried 9600 bps.  That worked just fine!  I noticed
that at the same time these problems started the university changed
their initial text screen to read that they've got new modems.  Hmmm...
Since I can still connect and get the initial text blurb I don't think
it's a modem problem, but maybe they messed with tip somehow?

Is anyone else seeing the same thing, or am I dreaming?  It's not really
a big deal, since my mail traffic is approximately nil.  9600 is plenty
fast.  It'd just be nice to know what's going on.
