If I login to his system (FreeBSD 1.1) and use either my OS/2 comm pkg-LiveWire 2.2 or my Linux one-Minicom 1.60 I either get the login screen to be garbled (mixed between being backwards and no enough letters) under 7E1 but I enter the correct info and execute a command and all is well or I get a good login screen but I try to execute a command and the screen is garbled under 8N1. Also, I'm not able to respond to any newsgroup using PICO (v2.5?). All I can do is go across 1 line, but can't move the cursor down and some letters are coming out as other characters. I can access other provider with my setup without problems so we figure maybe something on his end? We've been working on this for over a week, but we're both fairly new to this. Any suggestions or recommendations? TIA, Wayne WARP WARRIOR & LINUX LOVER
