I've been having some minor problems with text communications lately and
am wondering if anybody can recognize a problem here, or better yet a 
solution. Using Whap! on compuserve for probably 4 months, I would 
consistently get misplaced text (not line noise or garbage) in the current
message I was reading. I wrote it off to either CIS/Whap! or my modem at 
the time, but lately the modem died and I quessed that a MNP5 modem might
fix this. I bought a Baud Bandit 2400/MNP5 last week and it looks like 
nothing has changed. I've been on CIS once since getting the new modem
and without using Whap! I still got the misplaced text. It looked like MNP
was in effect because I got a "CONNECT 2400/REL 4" when signing on. After
getting out of CIS I called a local BBS and about 400 - 500 bytes into their
logon messages I saw some more misplaced text, mentioning something about
Ray Tracing, which was the subject of the last messages read on CIS! Both
with the old and new modem I haven't noticed any problem with binary file
transfer. This 'misplaced text' is usually only about 10 - 15 characters
but at times with Whap! it has really caused problems by appearing in the
message header.

Thanks for any help,

---Mike,
