Hi all,
	I've recently (over the last week) had a problem with my
connection suddenly being dropped for no apparent reason. The modem, a USR
28.8 Sportster which has no sound, doesn't indicate I've lost the
connection, but I clearly have. If I can't finger status@gate, and all
other activity has suddenly stopped then I'm assuming something's probably
not right.  :)

I called Demon, who apparently "don't support the Amiga" :) and managed to
get one person to suggest I changed my Demo phone number from a 01749
nuber to an 0845 number. I've done this, but it's too early to say if
things have improved at all yet. I have had the line dropped once,
immediately after connection, with the newer number though.

So has anyone else being experiencing any problems? Any advice?


                  All the best,
                        Angus Manwaring.       (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
