Do you know whether or not you ever set up a mail-only password? If not, do you have any CompuServe-supplied software (CS 3 or 4, for example)? Or do you have Virtual Key installed for your browser?

Lindsay,

I can access Tapcis.
It screams for about 28 secs (did this before and someone told me how to stop it) and I can get as far as 'scanning waiting messages'.

Bottom line is:
com1:115200 CPS total 300 say CPS current 400 say * DTR CD RTS CTS 0

It then gives a 'requesting topic change' (or words to that effect) and log off.

This is via a 56K modem, albeit I use broadbad for everything else.

Is that of any help?

I 'think' it's CS3. Any way I can check? Don't know about Virtual Key.

I jpoined Tapcis about 1988 and have long since forgotten how to drive it as I had it set up to do so automagically. Obviously the major disk crash and change to XP Pro SP2 finished me off. I can give you a list of the files I have if that' of any use.
