Thanks for replying Scott and ignoring my frustrated banter:
 SD> Have you tried using a different modem?
Yes...I tried hooking up a Supra 2400 that I'm using on an 8-bit computer but 
I get the same results!!! It's not the modem!!! :(
 SD> What do you see on the modem's lights when this 
 SD> happens?  Is "RD" or "RX" flashing at all?
Never noticed or saw anything light up and since I'm on the motherboard 
serial port right now I'll have to check that when I get a chance to hook it 
back up to the Digiboard!!! I'll get back to you on that!!! :)
 SD> Does Maximus work properly if you start it directly in 
 SD> WFC mode, rather than letting the mailer answer the 
 SD> call?
Tried that...same problem!!! Everything works great until it tries to load 
Maximus!!! I transfer Echomail and Files in both Regular & Terminal Modes 
with my Mailer so....It is obvious that it isn't the modem...It isn't the 
Digiboard...and it isn't the Fossil (FrontDoor does require one) as 
everything works great with fantastic speeds to that point!!! The problem 
ONLY starts when it tries to load Maximus!!! I've tried different Com 
Ports...Different Modems....And it even works great using the Mailer 
Intermail!!! I am convinced, as all the Hardware & Software Support People 
I've talked to, that it is a Maximus problem!!! Do you know how to solve this 
problem??? I really do like the Maximus BBS Program!!! :(
