Hi fellow C&Cer's

I am having trouble playing via a modem.

I can get the other modem to answer - the multiplayer config screen
comes up.

But after a few seconds the dreaded "Host Not Responding" message
appears.

The modem link is still up - so that doesn't appear to be the problem.

I have a 486DX2 66mhz machine and my friend has a 486DX2 100mhz machine

Has anyone else had similar problems or can anyone give any constructive 
suggestions ?

Regards Brian

i suffered similar probs - way round it is to ensure that your init
string have error chking + compression switched off
see your modem manula
e.g for a hayes its usually AT&Q0 with an optional S49=0
