And I thought I  was the most stubborn person on this  list. How long are
you going  to blame BITNET for  (1) the fact  that a 9.6k line  is slower
than a 56k line  (or whatever it is you are using) and  (2) the fact that
your connection to BITNET is through inferior software that emulates only
the most basic subset of the protocol?
