Hello all!
For those who would be interested, I believe that I am back , at least as long as I pay my cell phone bill anyway. So for those of you who have sent me emails with questions about my dlls, my apologies for not responding. Please feel free to email me again with your questions and I will try to resolve whatever problems or questions that I can.
Just to ensure that my email address is correct:

Thanks Garrett and Sheep. It's good to be back.
As for the phones speed, probably around 56K.
Although the phone reports 115200 bps (@ 112.5 k)? _________________ Bill Weckel

115200 bits = 14.4k, hope that's not right, lol.
I do think that's what my Sprint phone connected at though. _________________ -Sheep

My cell provider is Sprint. The tooltip for the dialer software reports
"so many bytes of data revieved and so msny bytes of data sent @
115200 bps" which I am assuming the 'b' would stand for bytes? _________________ Bill Weckel

Found this:
"Serial speed is 115200 bps, bps means bit-per-second. 1 byte means 8 bit, but additional 1 start bit and 1 stop bit. so 115200 bps means 115200 / 10 = 11520 byte/sec."
Realistically it's the same as being on a 14.4k regular modem connection I believe... better than nothing  _________________ -Sheep

Glad yer back online Bill.
Actually I think the BPS displayed is gonna be your com port
speed and has nothing to do with your internet connection speed.
If I'm not mistaken, ya can connect at 56k with a port speed of
9600.

Welcome Back Bill,
It's been such a long time. I am glad to see your back. If we hang around long enough then eventually it seems that all the old-timers return  _________________ Home of

Doesn't the cliche go: "A criminal always returns to the scene of crime!" Obviously that goes for VDS coders as well

Welcome back!!!
Your work is the best, and I'm glad you are back so we can talk about them.
Are you saying your connection it through your cell phone?  _________________ FreezingFire

That would be correct FF. For now anyway.
Thanks to all. I have some updates for existing dll's coming, as well as
a few new dll's. But that's all I'll say for now:)  _________________ Bill Weckel

Wow that's amazing!! I once had the option of buying some attachment
for my phone for my computer like that, but never saw one used.
Just had to say that's cool.  _________________ FreezingFire
