PMFJI, but I have been following this thread and let me add my experiences.
I'll set the conditions: I use Bink OS2 XR6 and my "BOSS" uses OS2 XR5.
....When I started using XR6, no problem on the incoming mail or files.
....But when I sent mail...LOST CARRIER showed up in the log and once or
twice ....had EMSI password problems.

My solution, and I'm still in a testing mode....
....was to go back to the default transmit protocol string (HYD,JAN,ZAP,ZMO).
....I also commented out the "NoHydra" and the
"NoJanus" verbs. I found if I ran with ZAP,HYD,ZMO it gave me
"Lost Carrier". I put ZAP,HYD,JAN,ZMO and it still gave
"Lost Carrier". I currently run with HYD,JAN,ZAP,ZMO (default)
and that has solved the lost carrier problem.

YMMV, but that string is sent during the EMSI handshake and thats why I
started troubleshooting there. Like I said above I'm still testing and I'd
like to send some 5k to 10k packets for a more complete check.

Hope this helps.

TTYL,  Richard
