 SD> What happens if you run the software outside of DESQview, using plain 
DOS?
Never tried it without Desqview yet since I'm trying to load it on Node 2 and 
that would be difficult without a Multitasker!!! I'll give it a try and let 
you know how it works!!!
 TC> user only a chance to get 1 letter in per line!!!
 SD> I should also mention

 TC> only problem happens when it tries to load Maximus 
 TC> up in Dos!!! Can you

 SD> Are you saying that this only happens with one 
 SD> particular modem, and that your two other lines 
 SD> function properly?
Line one uses an Internal Supra 28.8 and works fine although (this is my next 
problem) when a 28.8 user comes in the Mailer reports a 28.8 connect and the 
batch file the Mailer creates states the the Caller is 28.8 but Maximus 
ALWAYS reports 28.8 Callers as 14.4 Callers even though their file transfer 
speed is at the 28.8 rate!!! This is strange because when my second line is 
hooked up to the Motherboard serial port Maximus always reports the 28.8 as 
28.8 even though the loading batch files for both lines are Identical aside 
from the Port & Node variables!!! A strange problem I haven't even tackled 
yet!!!
The 3rd Node is for the ISDN Data Port and it only has the Mailer loaded for 
accepting Fido Echomail & InterNet Mail!!! It is on the Digiboard and uses 
the same Fossil (Digifossil 2.2) and Mailer as the second line does BUT is 
not set up to load the BBS!!! This setup has been working without ANY 
problems since last November when I got the ISDN and tried to go Multiline!!!
Since Node 3 doesn't load the BBS and Node 1 is on an Internal modem both 
Nodes work fine except for that problem with the baud speeds on Node 1!!! 
Line 2 seems to be the problem as it won't load Maximus if I use the 
Digiboard and if I use my Motherboard Serial Port for Line 2 I get CRC errors 
like crazy whenever another node is in use... which is why I'm desperate to 
get it working on the Digiboard!!!
I also should apologize to you for jumping the gun and saying you are being 
silent etc etc!!! I've been deperate & frustrated trying to get this to work 
since last November and have spent a lot of Dollars on Long Distance charges 
to Hardware & Software Support people and my Line 2 is on the Motherboard for 
now giving me constant CRC errors so my impatience is wearing a little 
thin!!! Your reply seemed like it was taking forever under the circumstances 
and didn't take into account that you are probably a very busy person!!! 
Sorry about that!!!
