Yep, I've tried that, and it still doesn't echo what I'm typing. When I
plug the modem into my Windows 95 box and do a terminal session from there,
everything is echoed, and I'm yet to experience any line-dropping while my
modem's plugged into my Windows machine.

What

Here's what pstat -T returned right now; my modem dropped the connection
about 15 minutes ago:
66/360 files
429 vnodes
3M/26M swap space
When I'm online, this changes to:
72/360 files
430 vnodes
3M/26M swap space
What do you think? Another strange thing to note occurs during startup,
where I get a message: ed1 (my ethernet card) failed to clear shared memory
at d8000. Would this have something to do with the problem?
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term "system-wide open files". What
does this mean?
Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Andrew Stevens.
