My connection must still be up because I was able to download 72% of the
same 61K file with wget, lynx, or links.  I was able to transfer several M
of files to BL3 after downloading with BL2, after this.  I was not able to
download more than 45K of the 61K of libz using BL3.  Have you tried
downloading the same file with Bl3?

It works for you, it does not work for me.  I hope to get Kermit working 
with a newer ncurses (which I can't download with BL3) but if the 
downloads won't work, I am unlikely to have a lot of use for BL3.

If I don't put 'send' first, I have to type at (enter) first instead, or I
just get the dial tone and it won't dial.  send atdt gives me dial tone
and then also dials.

It dials, it connects, it asks for login: and when I give my login id it 
immediately asks for password and enters something and tells me Wrong 
password.

ati5 gives me the same info as with kermit for all the registers etc.


I did not try a different init string yet.  What does eznet use, I can try 
that.
