Okay, I'll give 'em a call. Let you know Mon or Tue, I hope. Jim

When talking to a telco type, he threw out stuff like "T-1 Frame Relay." Could someone knowledgeable in telco talk help me out on this? I've heard of a t-1, of course, but haven't a clue what Frame relay is. Thanks! Jim

I know that Bright Trading offers Blue Cross/Bl Shield to its traders...some kind of group plan. I *think* Echotrade does as well, although Robert Tharp would be the authority. It seems logical (sure...) that if we could form some type of association that we could probably get some company...

Good question! I have not had to call them for a very long time so I thought I would try out the number given on their web site. it is 877-442-2757. Sorry, but I don't know the long distance prefex for France. Anyway, after a very short automated answering doo-dad, press 1 and, in my...

Dustin, My reason for the key pad is to ditch the keyboard, or at least keep it a bit out of the way. I really think that the key pad will do just about everything I need even if I include a couple of scroll keys, price up and down keys, etc. Ever since I got turned on to the keyboard...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the help! Always fun to have a new toy to play with. Good trading today! Jim

Really guys, I've noticed some slowdown myself (as I posted earlier) but in this case, let's give IB a break for a day or two. I feel your pain (pane?)...yesterday I couldn't get a fill to save my soul and this was on NYSE...trading Wal Mart, I think. Damn thing turned green but then it just...

Sure...no problem. I'll just add it to this thread. Jim

Good question, Baron. I trade only NYSE so I haven't had that problem, yet. I have not programmed my keypad yet but I'm guessing there will be a couple of up and down keys to adjust size and a couple of others for price. Sorry I can't be of more help on this... Jim

Yes! Me too. The only thing I know about it is that it may be related to a new virus/worm going around. Go to McAffee.com...they have the story. My squawk box is having problems as well. Jim

Just exactly how do I get this thing to work? The only thing I can figure out is that I *might* have to have a futures acct w/ IB. Ture? Any suggestions great appreciated! Best regards, Jim

This isn't the answer you are probably looking for but there is an interesting article in the October issue of "Active Trader" magazine that answers your question and more. If I could figure out a way of posting it here w/o getting an extended stay in the slammer and big fine, I would. The...

Def & all who use Norton email virus scanning The setup for email scanning seems to indicate that all email goes from your desktop computer to Symantec for scanning and then back to your desktop email client. I know it sounds screwy but that's why I'm asking here. Can this be right...

Works Okay here.. Jim

Many thanks for your help! Touchkey Jim

Dustin, My XKEYS 20 key unit arrived this afternoon. I'm really stoked and hope to get it programmed for Wed trading. How did you get your keys color coded? They did send me a template to use but I'm talking about the colored key caps. The colors would really be nice. Thanks, Jim

This can get tricky because many ISP's do not offer it. I found one here in Michigan and found him thru a web search that took me to ZD net...they have some articles about it and a couple of urls that point you to ISPs...that offer it. What I found was that most ISP's don't even know what it...

Nic., Yes, those huge downloads that would have taken an hour or two using a phone line are what makes Starband shine. Getting speeds of 500-700 kbs is great and as long as a prospective Starbander/trader knows about SB's weaknesses then I would recommend it. BUt to use it for order entry, it...

Personally, I just want IB to keep the low commissions. You can have your Lev II, all the bells and doodads you want...but there will be a cost associated with all these "improvements." If you want to pay higher commissions, that's fine with me. Just go to another broker. There ain't no free...

Jerry- Nice to have you on this board!!!! Unfortunately for me, I only got to use QT for about three days before I switched to IB...but sure would like to have it now! Best regards, Jim
