Keith,

I'm not sure I understand the problem you are having, but if it is a "lockup"
type condition right after you "CONNECT", read on.

When logging on to CIS  or TYMNET, something in the first few characters that
come in are causing my term to lockup on the MM/1. This happens with every
terminal program I have tried (COM, KERMIT, STERM,  and now TASCOM - the MM/1
version of OSTERM).  In conversations with a couple other MM/1 owners I have
heard the same problem hits them.  IMS is aware of the problem - new drivers
are supposed to fix it  soon.

Meanwhile, here's what works:

Lock the DTR on in your modem (either by setting the proper DIP switch, or the
AT&D command if it will take it).

After connection is made, EXIT the com program and restart it.

This seems to put the driver back  together (to explain exactly what is going
wrong, and why this fixes it, you need somebody smarter than me).

Give it a try.

John Wainwright
