subject: Problems with QModem Pro

SD> I have a user that uses QModem Pro to connect to my

Wow. Somebody who actually pays for software (!).

What about using ANSI-BBS emulation on the client ?

I use Telix.

 SD> problems with their Max install and QModem Pro?  I know

I've had problems uploading files to Bob Jone's Tophat BBS where mTel would
crash and/or disconnect and/or hang the Zmodem transfer after 100%
progress; but the BBS never crashed. 

My guess is some problem with Vmodem ... but we never verified that theory
(or investigated further).

Do your local OS/2 mTel transfers work ?

 SD> FWIW, I've never had this problem before with Maximus/2.

What about under Maximus/DOS ?
