Hi again everybody,

Apparently the router program ignores the baud parameter when the
`PBX' option is used (or maybe it is the phase of the moon), so I am
specifying the serial port speed using the DOS `mode' command, before
starting the router.

Here is the output:

| C:\CCMAIL\Router>C:\CCMAIL\Router\NTROUTER.EXE C:\CCDATA COM1 MODEM/PBX

(roughly here, the Palmtop displays the message "could not connect")

|   Data connection not requested.
| Bad Packet Summary -- Naks sent: 0 recv: 0 Retrans: 0
| 9/1/21 21:11 Ending connection.

What is it I am missing?

Is there nobody here who remembers this stuff? It's only been twenty years.
