:Hi.  I'm currently trying to get ka9q to work on my IBM-compat.  For some
:reason, I can get slfp.exe to dial the merit access number, but it says
:that it can't get the ip number.  I think I have found a cause for this...
:it's because the slfp program is still looking at the data using 8 bits,
:no parity, and 1 stop bit instead of the 7,E,1 setting that all Merit numbers
:use.  Since I have no idea how to code in C, can someone explain to me how
:to modify this?  My current setup is:
:     IBM-compat 486/50 AMI BIOS
:     US Robotics 14.4k Dual Standard with V.32

I was under the impression that one couldn't run SLFP with some of the
high-speed Ann Arbor dialouts.  Anyone have any further information?
