I did the tclient change (though that would be the ozzie guide data?) and ran through the setup. Nope, no joy. It just wants a phone number. It seems to be ignoring the ,#401 and going for the modem.

Thanks anyway for your help Peter. Much appreciated. I'll think on it a while.

I'm surprised no one else is having a problem with the dial-up for guide data. If mine stopped getting through, others must have the same problem.
I changed the tclient back to dial up (and hashed out the ,#401 in the author file) and ran the guided setup. It dial out fine, and I can hear it trying to connect, comes up onscreen "connecting", then disconnects and displays the "failed, service not answering" message. Why did it work a week ago (for six months), and not now?

Maybe I'll buy a radio. Now thats just crazy talk!
