  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.  :)
 
 SA> and also, it is known that some modem cannot u/l (!) with Telemate's
 SA> Zmodem.  Isn't that MAJOR?  I would NEVER use that kind of s***.
  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
 SA> effectively recover from a CRC error occuring after a UART data loss.
  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.  :)
 BS>  I highly doubt there is something as good as Telemate, 
 SA> Depends on your point of view.  Telemate phone book is incredible, but
 SA> Zmodem protocol, and the non-existent auto-reply macros (very handy you
 SA> know) are REALLY down points.
  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.

Talk to you later!
