     I am sure you were not wrong but apparently that is not the entire 
problem.  InterMail seems to work great.  I can drop to DOS and open the 
Renegade program.  I call in and it works great.  That tells me both programs 
are setup right (or close anyway) and I don't think the problem is in the 
IMRUN.BAT file.

{at}echo off
cd \
X00 E B,1,15200 T=1024 R=2048 NOPOST F=15
CD IM
:LOOP
C:
CD \IM
IM /M

if errorlevel = 250 goto sysmaint

   

if errorlevel = 99 goto bbscall

   


:sysmaint
cd \im
sysmaint.bat

   

:bbscall
dobbs

   


     I then go to the DOBBS.BAT file and it looks right to me:

EXEBBS 24000 2 110 /Arg/V34/Lapm/V42bis 1

I believe we went over that before and agreed there is nothing wrong with 
it. (but I don't trust my memory :-)  Lets take a look at the EXEBBS.BAT file:

CD \RG
RENEGADE -b%1%4 -x%3 -q
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO NETMAIL
CD..
echo ath0>com2
IMRUN

:NETMAIL
CD \RG
RENEMAIL -5
C:\IM\GECHO
Ge386 SCAN
CD \ECHO ATH0>com2
IMRUN

     It is exactly like the one that is now running in the ol' 486 and under
Windows 95.  Seems to me like it should run.

     I did notice something strange when I ran the "XU S" command
at the DOS 
prompt.  Here is the information it gave me:

If I am reading it correctly, it tells me that Com-2 is running at 03E8 
address and at IRQ 4.  InterMail and Renegade are setup that way.  But notice 
the "Current Mode" readings.  Sgouldn't that be "8N1?" 
 If so, whay can I do 
to fix the problem?

Regards,

Ken
