PPP/Mgetty hang-up problem HELP Please????

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Thank you *very* much for your response.  It appears it is indeed the digiboard

Again, thank you for your response.  I feel privileged to receive a response from
Mr. Gert Doering of such great fame. . .
