Never the less there seems to be some problem with connecting to the
Green ROMP that is not present on the Purple or Red ROMP's. Since the
set-up is the same for them all it points to a problem outside my
control. What happens is that the connection is not made and I get an
error message that there is no carrier signal, though trying a couple of
times will  usually make the connection. 
The reason for trying the Green ROMP is that it seems to be the only
line to connect at 33600 while both the other connect at 31200 (on a
33.6 modem). Of course I usually use the alternate ROMP's but, returning
to the subject, it does mean Demon are not at "100%". Not bad enough to
consider changing as I suspect it's still a good service when compared
with other ISP's.

ps Sorry for converting a general mac subject into an ISP specific
thread.

Regards 
 
Andy
