Hi all.

I've only just got the account, and I know very little about TCP. I'm running the beta
version of TCP that comes in the DIS installer on a 4000/40 with a US Robotics Sportster
14400 modem. All the modem settings, and prefs settings, seem ok.

The problem is, I can connect, potter about for an hour or so, then the link goes down. 
Once it goes down, I can't restore it for more than a couple of minutes at a time- even 
after switching everything off and rebooting. Disabling wbstartup doesn't help. 

I was thinking it was a Demon problem, but a friend brought a laptop with modem and 
connected, from here, and from this vPOP, on the first attempt- after I'd had my daily
'allowance' and couldn't get a stable connection.

Does anyone out there have the faintest idea what's going on?
I'd appreciate replies in email to craig@blksheep.demon.co.uk because emails come through
in the first couple of minutes of connecting- as things are at the mo, I can't do a 
full newstransfer :/
