Julian, you are not imagining this! From my personal experience the setups degree of of looseness is dependant of how fast your modem partner is. The only way to alleviate this is to find a partner with the same speed cpu that you are running. If the faster partner phones the slower your setups will tighten up. This also applies to Hawaii as well, if you keep track of your server numbers you will soon find out which ones are faster or slower! Not all servers are created equal! If and when the program gets a frame counter you may be able to observe the phenomenon you discribe if my theory is correct! Regards Pete

Julian, I thought I was imagining it at first until I compared a P90 to a P200. Problems with the 90 and not with the 200. Pete
