Can anyone help me with a small problem I'm having with my new modem and CIS? I
bought a Best Data Products SMART ONE 9632X V.32 9600 baud modem that is
currently connected to COM1 on my Tandy 3000 HL. I still have my 2400 baud
modem connected to the CoCo 3 and will move this 9600 to my MM1 when it arrives
 (soon I hope). Now for the problem. The new modem works fine EXCEPT after a
CISB+ file transfer. After the successful transfer I get no response from CIS
and even sending a CTRL-C gets a strange graphics character echoed back to my
screen. After a while, if I stay connected long enough, I get a Host Time Out
message. I don't normally stay connected that long because of the connect
charges. The files ARE successfully received and will unzip on the 3000 or the
OS9 files will un-AR on the CoCo. If I select Xmodem or Ymodem, everything
works great. I get normal responses from CIS after the transfer. This problem
happens when I call either the 2400 baud node or the 9600 baud number. On the
3000 I'm using PCPLUSTD for the term program. I prefer to use B+ transfers for
the speed (approx. 1K per sec.) but will drop back to Ymodem if I have to or
does CIS support Zmodem?

By the way, I asked this question almost two weeks ago in the IBMCOM forum
since the modem is being used with an IBM compatible. I never got a single
reply@and now the msg has scrolled off.

That says something for the attitude and friendliness of the CoCo/OS9 community

Thanks for any help.

Ernie.
