That's a rarity with me, trust me. :)

He was using the ANSI emulation.

It's a bug in mTel.  mTel's kinda notorious for its Zmodem and ANSI
problems (it'll work with some boards, not with others).  It's enough to
make me investigate writing my own telnet client in Pascal (not that I
really have time to do it, but it'd certainly be interesting).  I dislike
that the author doesn't bother to work on mTel any further, but that's
another story.

I'm having the same problems you did with uploads though, with mTel.  Using
Hyperterminal or Zap-O-Comm, no problems.

 ML> Do your local OS/2 mTel transfers work ?

No.

 ML> What about under Maximus/DOS ?

Never used Maximus/DOS.  Only Maximus/2. :)

Later,
Sean
