Hi all, I have been using the Demon beta 56k line for several months without problem, using a K56Flex no-name modem and Warp3 fixpack35. A couple of days ago it stopped working... I can connect, and I can ping news.demon.co.uk for instance, but nothing else works - news doesn't start, I can't get to any web site, and even finger status@gate doesn't. All this works if I connect with same modem to the 33k number. I am using the slipout .cmd, and I have different slip.cfg files with the different telephone numbers (ie slip.33 has the standard phone number, slip.56 has the beta number), but other than that all else is the same, I just copy the appropriate slip file to slip.cfg before dialling. I have tried resetting the modem to it's default (AT&F0), with no change, and Demon tell me that 56k should be OK - no other complaints. I have checked that my resolv2 file has the correct DNS entries - domain demon.co.uk nameserver 158.152.1.193 nameserver 158.152.1.65 So now I don't know what can be wrong unless the modem has a fault at high speed. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, I signed up for the Yahoo! Email, and friends berated me for thinking that the pager applet they use wouldn't work in OS/2, but lo and behold the Java version of the pager works fine (although it places loads of tasks in Object Desktop tab launchpad!) Regards, Danny
