I am most surprised that using a different ISP would have solved the problem. You probably did something else other than just changing your ISP. When you tried connecting with the previous ISP I would have suspected that you might have forgotten to see to it that your PATH.CFG or your WATTCP.CFG file or whatever config file is produced for you as a result of establishing your TCP/IP connection failed to be found in the path specified by your ARACHNE.CFG. However you dial up and connect it is very important that the resulting config file be found by Arachne. See your ARACHNE.CFG to find out where she is supposed to find it. Make changes as appropriate and necessary. IMHO, you probably unknowingly entered some appropriate changes when you set her up to connect with a different ISP. You should check this out. If you can run Arachne from a hard drive, I can't think of any reason why you should have a problem running her from a ramdrive with the same ISP, assuming of course that your ramdrive is big enough and you have sufficient conventional DOS memory. If you are having difficulties, then a bug will be found somewhere in your setup and configuration files. The difficulty cannot be attributed to some alleged quirkiness of the ISP.
