          (the following assumes the modem is working otherwise)

    If you are using Prodigy or America OnLine with a high speed modem  the

try putting &q6 into the string.  You do NOT want to have a DT at the end (

&q6DT ), you should try with an AT as the prefix ( AT&q6 ).  If this  still

doesn't  work,  on  the  9600 line use &q0s37=9n0   or  on  the  2400  line

&q0s37=6n0  which causes a 'direct' connect rather than using buffering  in

the modem.

                Here's a string to try.       AT&F&Q6&K0E0

     If  you are unsure if you are connecting, then try calling  the  local

Prodigy/AOL  number from terminal mode of a regular telecom  program  (like

Telix,  Procomm,  MTEZ, Comit, Bitcom etc). Then you will SEE  a  'CONNECT'

message if you do connect. This will eliminate a modem problem, perhaps the

Prodigy  you  have has an fault in it.  Type AD&Q6DTnumber    to  test,  or

insert the other strings above before the DT.
