I had this problem yesterday also from a Windows 3.1 system. I'd put in my userid and password and it wouldn't accept it. I tried this about 3 or 4 times in a row with no luck. Steve Thole then tried his userid and password and it worked fine. I tried about 30 minutes later on a Mac and everything was fine again. Also, did the systems make a connection? We were having problems yesterday, where our local modem would dial the phone, but the other end wouldn't pick up. Trying it a second time would usually fix the problem, though. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask]
