Hi Gary,

    I appreciate your imput, I have already started discussing it in
e-mail, but I will tell you that any help would be welcome.

     At this point, they games play just fine from my side, locally thru
the bbs.  The problem seems to be that they don't go back to the bbs after
the caller exits the game.  It locks up the computer.  One time, I came in
and
it still was locked up at the screen that says "wait while Cat House
BBS reloads..."  The status line still flashes the 'F' and I
understand that is for flow control.  I have RTS & CTS turned on in
Max.ctl and have checked the settings in my modem string.

     The other day, I thought my monitor had gone out and tried to call in
from my other computer with only a 2400 modem (bbs has 33.6).  I connected
at what I thought was 2400 but I think it was only 300 from the way it
acted.
My 2400 is a zoom ('nuf said).  I experienced the same problems as my caller.
My batch files are set up like the sample in the docs, so I am at a loss at
this point.

     As for the way they are called, they work just fine, it's ending the
game, and returning to the bbs.  Two games that I know have the problem are
theOverUnder and Monte Carlo Solitaire games.  I have a similar problem
with some of the trivia games also.

    Any ideas?  :-)

    TTYL
