  ???  I use Telemate 4.20 now, and haven't had a problem with ZModem.  Only
bug I've found is the annoying one where the DOS Window always clears the
screen apon return, but that's it.  Oh yeah, and it doesn't always display
bright foreground colors on colored backgrounds for some reason.  Dunno why.
But those are minor.  File transfers seem to work fine.
 SA> So you are an OS/2 user?
  I have used it and like it.  I don't have it installed on my current PC, 
ut
that is changing very soon.  OS/2 is certainly better then Windows95 (I don't
even want to talk about Win 3.x).  WinNT's main advantage is stability, but
it's system resource requirements aren't even funny anymore.  OS/2 strikes a
good balance.  I've seen better (AmigaDOS, PC/GEOS), but support for those
sort of things is completely non-existent.  Lastly, I dislike MicroSoft in
general, so OS/2 it is.  :)
  While we're at it.  To All:  Anyone know of a good, native WPS term program
for OS/2?  I highly doubt there is something as good as Telemate, but when
you're under OS/2, Telemate's built-in multi-threading and editor lose a lot
of the appeal they have under DOS.  I haven't played with OS/2 for
telecommunications much (yet :).
