I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who has recently
subscribed to Demon and is having problems configuring the Atari
s/w.

I know little about Ataris myself but here are the details he has
given me:

	Atari Falcon '030 4Mb
	TOS 4.04
	Zoom 14.4k modem

He has downloaded the Atari s/w (NOS V1.10 for Atari ST) from
the Demon guest account and configured it using the setup option
from the menu, entering node name and ip address.

It appears to connect to Demon OK, password is sent etc, and the 
motd is received, but nothing happens after that, and after 30-50
seconds the modem drops the line. He has tried finger status@gate
and also 'ping'ing gate but there is no response.

If anyone is running a similar setup any advice/comments would
be appreciated and I shall forward them.

I have included the dial.txt and startup.nos files in case they
help, and I can get further info if necessary.

Replies via e-mail would be appreciated as not being an Atari user
myself I do not subscribe to this group.

Thanks in advance,

Simon (on behalf of Terry)
