Funny, I never have a problem. Course, my modem is error correcting...

I'll get over this... could care less what the BBS knows about me. And if
I want to run a host, I fire up my copy of RemoteAccess. :)

Wasn't this a problem with said modems using a non-standard UART? I would
blame the modem and not Telemate if that was the case. I know it uploads
fine with standard UARTs (at least it does on mine :).
SA> here, peoples complains about the Windoze version not capable of

The Windows version is a bit different then the DOS version. I will
certainly agree that the Windows version needs tuning, as a lot of first
release software does.
SA> ZOC!! get it on ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/comm/zoc212.zip
So I've heard. :)

Well, like I say, Zmodem works fine for me. The lack of auto-reply macros
is a pain, using scripts isn't the same. Although Telemate's Auto-Learn is
a great idea.
