Here are some more ideas for the FAQ, Pete. Unfortunately, I don't
have the answer to the first one, but I have an idea that it has been
mentioned at some time:
=======
Q1: I've set 'Options: Preferences & Performance (Look & Feel)' to
use seriously looking icons, but I still get the buttons with
chips out of the edges. Why?
A1: Er...
=======
Q2: I set my modem speed in 'Manual TCP/IP Setup - Internal PPP' to
115200 and I notice missing characters in the messages shown
on the terminal screen, e.g., 'Conct 1520'. The log-in also
fails. Why?
A2: The modem is sending characters to the COM port faster than the
PC can read them and some characters are therefore getting
lost. You can select a slower speed, such as 38400,
on the setup page. If this is too slow, the modem speed can be
set to values in between those offered in 'Manual TCP/IP setup'
if you modify it directly in ARACHNE.CFG. Look in the section
headed [dialer] for the line beginning 'Speed ' and type in a
valid COM port speed, for example 57600.
A COM port fitted with a UART chip having a FIFO - usually chip
type 16550 - can help with higher speeds.

All the best,
Ron.
