subject: Telemate for OS/2 Livewir

BS} SA> Yah, ok maybe... but I wouldn't like an OS/2 of Telemate if the 
modem
  } SA> still sucks as I remember it from Telemate 4.20 :)
BS}  ???  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.
BS} SA> So you are an OS/2 user?
BS}  I have used it and like it.  I don't have it installed on my current PC, 
b
t
  }that is changing very soon.  OS/2 is certainly better then Windows95 (I 
don'
  }even want to talk about Win 3.x).  WinNT's main advantage is stability, 
ut
  }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.  :)
BS}  While we're at it.  To All:  Anyone know of a good, native WPS term 
progra
  }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 :).
I am also a TM user, had to take off OS/2 because of things, like drive
space, games and other things. As soon as I get a 2.2GB drive, then
Os/2 and all the other things will too. Dual Boot and more. Livewire 3.0
for the WPS is out, and available to anyone. Really well made, and I hope
that Winfred looks at it as it will really put a cramp on TM DOS and Win,
so hope that you can find it. I have it, and will be installing it as
soon as the above happens. TM will work under OS/2 but change the
settings it says and not the CFG file. It seems to corrupt it or
something when you do, but the IDLE Sensitivity to 1 works just fine.
Seez ya'
