It won't work with 2.2.0, but does with 2.2.0a. You're sure you have the
right one?

A small probably pointless thought; if it fails at 115k, it seems it might
be choking on something. Check the routing of your modem lead; it might
just be picking something up.

Mine definitely does- "Connect 28800 LAPM/ARQ" is what I think it says.
This is with a Courier. Does your modem correctly report connect speed in
something like ZTerm? That's a useful test.

Mine does too- they flash by in the box. I've not tried to prevent it, as
there seems to be no point. It's not the best possible feature, I agree.

Lucky chap. I'm using a 6100/60 with MacTCP 2.04. But it all seems to work
well.

I think it's worth putting this in the newsgroup rather than in mail, in
case anybody else is kicked into commenting...
