HyperTerminal To Check Modem Speed?
I have heard that there was a way to check your modem speed using HyperTerminal. If what I have heard is true, then how does one go about doing this?

For that matter, does anybody know any bulletin boards to which I can connect using HyperTerminal?

I don't know about HyperTerminal, but...
Do you have "System Monitor" in START... System Tools? If not, get it from "START, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Windows Setup tab, D-Clk System Tools, check System Monitor, OK, Apply, OK". May as well take "Resource Meter", too. Now, go through the menus and at least have it display (a) Swap file in use. (b) Swap file size. (c) Swappable memory. (d) Unused physical memory. (e) Allocated memory. (f) Disk cache size. (g) Locked memory (h) Other memory (i) Kernel Processor Usage (j) Kernel Threads (k) There are modem items in there too. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Brandon Taylor" wrote in message ...

Okay, but what modem items will be most relevant to me?

Try 800-624-5123 AT&T Mail - you can connect to a BBS, but not log in. But
all you want to do is check your modem, right? "Brandon Taylor" wrote in message ... For that matter, does anybody know any bulletin boards to which I can connect using HyperTerminal?

Okay, I tried that, but when I entered, it presented me with a login prompt.
So what should I do then? "Julie" wrote in message ... Try 800-624-5123 AT&T Mail - you can connect to a BBS, but not log in. But all you want to do is check your modem, right?
