I don't know if you can help me or not, but I have a problem with my setup for
telecommunications.

First, the problem. For some reason, I'm not able to call up my term software,
dial the number, then go on line. If I do, nothing will transmit through my
comm port. It recieves, but nothing is sent. There is still full control of all
the program commands, but when the program is exited, it locks up the window.

The way it has to be done is. Load the program into memory, dial number,
execute program. An example is.

     Load sterm
     Dial (CIS #) wait for CD and switch on modem
     Sterm 

If it is done this way, there is no problem. Everything works fine, and when I
exit the program, the window still works.

The problem seems to be in the switching on of the modem when the program is
active. I don't know if it is sending a surge or something on connection that
is causing this, but I would like to get it fixed if I could.

This is what I'm using. A Coco 3 512K,Disto Super Controller I with 3in1 board,
and a Tandy Modemphone 300. I have two versions of Sterm (1.2, 1.3), Xcom9, and
Osterm. The same thing happens on all of them, so it would seem to be something
in the hardware.

If you are at a loss, maybe you know someone who might be able to help.
