	I use the dialouts to connect with GEnie and (despite setting up
with a %bpc=8 command, I frequently receive "nibble overflow" errors while
uploading ascii text at 2400b. In addition, I have no success whatever using
zmodem to download from GEnie through the dialouts (which may be a GEnie
problem). If there is a simple "command fix" for this I'd appreciate it. I
know of no actual documentation for the dialouts, so if a man page exists
with the answers, a pointer would be helpful.

	BTW, as you'll notice from the return on this, mi.misc has a pretty
good circulation!

	Peace,
