	I'm hoping someone can help my provider & myself with this
problem. 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,
