BP>I have been using as my main communication program QMODEM-TD 4.5.  I
BP>recently got another cpu and put the old modem into it.  I UL the
BP>QMODEM-TD into it's HD and configured it exactly the same as the other
BP>program in the old cpu.  Here is what it now does.
        You say you UL'd the Qmodem-TD to you new HD. Did you copy all
the Directories? It is a long time since I used TD and I can't remember
if it had all the same directories as Qmodem Pro or not... But this
might be one of the causes of some of your problems. If you copied all
the Directories and Files and used the same modem, you should NOT have
had to do any re-configuring at all, except if the COM port changed. The
fact that the modem dials would indicate that the COM port is the same,
and that is not your problem.
BP>I type in qmodem and the screen lights up and goes to the termial screen
BP>and a message appears saying "The CTS signal is down.  Waiting for CTS.
BP>Press any key to bypass CTS".
BP>Usally the initialization string is on this page but didn't appear.  The
BP>toggle for the CTS is turned on.
        The fact this message is appearing, indicates there is NO
hardware handshaking active. If you were using an external modem with
insufficient wires, this could be the cause, but I assume it is an
Internal modem.
BP>I go to the address page and tried to call another computer.  I hear the
BP>dialing and the wineing tone of connecting to it but no picture of the
BP>connected BBS only the my address page.
        Again with CTS not active, according to my Qmodem Manual this
could be your problem.
