Hello All!
I've been using os/2 warp 4, the ftp.exe program, to grab mail and files and 
such from hubs, with a script.  I start it up as follows:
=== Begin ===
ftp -i -n <"f:\fiftp\l920360
The problem that I have is that if something hangs, like the net, a glitch 
with a file, what have you, it just sits there.  It also doesn't let go of 
the comm port.  I use ppp.exe to dial, and have it set to timeout if there's 
no activity.  It does so just great, and then exits.  Unfortuneately, it 
doesn't take ftp.exe with it.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
William
