I have been getting this problem with my iMac for the last couple of months. So much so, that I use a Win2K machine to dial up(no problems whatsover), and network the two together. Messy, but it works. My iMac had no probs connecting for the first year or so. I can't work it out. Strange thing is, when I tell Remote Access to use a terminal window, I get a **HUGE** scrolling list of nonsense, instead of Login: Password: etc. I **don't** get this when I dial up to my company network using the same procedure (ie. just change the phone number) "Simon Slavin" <slavins@hearsay.demon.co.uk@localhost> wrote in message news:B6F2B16B966843EB3@0.0.0.0... > In article <B6E93DC4.7D17%david@spamkiller.chadales.co.uk>, > No Spam <david@spamkiller.chadales.co.uk> wrote: > > > 0844 041 6662 > > > > Get "No Carrier Signal" or "Remote side is not responding properly" > > It's not you, it's Demon or BT.
