DUATS problem

Haven't used DUATS in quite awhile as I've just been doing local flights,
but I tried it yesterday adn I can't get anything out of it. I enter the
script for an area brief and when I hit the send button, I get connected,
but it comes up with a line that asks for my password or last name. I have
long forgotten my password, but it doesn't matter since nothing I enter
shows up on the screen.

Is this a problem with my PC (maybe I need an update) or is there a problem
with DUATS?

TIA.

Just start over go sign up again. It will give you your password.
Sign up for golden eagle it is pretty good.

Why wouldn't you use the web based Duats you can access from a
web browser? Granted, it does require you to have internet access,
but I usually like to take a look at satellite and radar images
(via NOAA) in addition to the briefing.

If you are talking about the direct connect modem services, both DUAT
servers are working fine. I use both, but primarily the DTC. With DTC when
you type in your ID and password, the '*' symbol echoes your input. But with
the CSC duat, there is no echo whatsoever. Both, of course, are for
security.

I don't normally type in this stuff for I have everything run by scripts,
but just tried with a terminal program to report to you. Ocassionally, I use
the DTC on the internet, but that is a much slower process than the modem
connection.

Incidentally, both services are set up to require an ID and password, which
I'm sure you can easily obtain from their help line, probably emailed back
to you.

My old DUATS account seems to be borked also.

It will not take my password, which I have written down in my wallet
so I would not forget it, and when I try to sign up again, it says it
already has an account for my certificate number and will not allow me
to proceed. Calling the 800 number for support was either perpetually
busy, or would ring forever with no answer. As a result, I have simply
given up on DUATS.

It's working for me.

My password is automatically entered when I start, thus I have no idea what
it is. I know I can't just set up another account because, like you already
found out, it will say that I already have one. I'll have to call them. I
think there's a problem with my software as I ocassionally get one of those
"this application has encountered a problem and will shut down" messages.

I'll try the number again, but I got sick of waiting last time I tried it.

I'm wondering if it could be my firewall or antivirus software. I had a
problem with my Musicmatch and ended up paying $20 for the upgrade only to
get the same problem. I forget what I did, but I changed a setting in my
firewall software and all was fine after that.

Thanks.
