I thought Bruce had this problem a year ago.

Roger,

If you are having the problem of "+ + +", w/o the spaces, crashing your
modem, then you need to sue your modem manufacturer - it's not Hayes
compatable. :-)

But I thought your problem was that, using NAT you had problems, not using
NAT (and I assumed the same modem & ISP) you didn't. ??

take care,

Bill
