Try this one: Dial up using N81 as you have in the past, but when the data switch answers, DON'T hit the [ENTER] (or [RETURN]) key. Instead, type a semi-colon (;). This will make the switch respond in 8 bit mode. Then chose class V1. Your download should be fine. I've had numerous problems with class MIAVX1 as you described, but I use the above solution now for all of my logins and downloads, at 14.4K, with extras enabled. No problems encountered. -- Aaron D.
