Nope.  Sorry, Mike.  I run DOS Maximus under WfW 3.11.  I _have_ had some 
experience with the Windows 3.xx terminal program and it was all bad. ;)  
I've simply told others not to use that and to pick up a *good* comm program 
instead. I've been told that hyper terminal is much better but I've never had 
a chance to try it.

I really don't know.  I have ANSI.SYS loaded in config.sys here.  The best 
Windows comm program I've seen is QMProWin (QmodemPro for Windows) but it's 
commercial and I don't think there's a shareware version.
