The problem is that each time thekey was hit by both of you, only a Carrige Return was sent. That told the computer to return the cursor to the left margain, but it didn't tell it to move to a new line... There are several solutions to this problem. One is to make both computers SEND a Line Feed with each . Another is to make each computer interpret each incoming to be an combination. Ascii Express has a little feature in the Install, that is called "Auto-LF at Half Duplex" or something. That means that when you are at half-duplex (local echo on), I believe that AE sends an with each . It think that's right. Also, I believe the "Z" option (Format) should be ON, and that I think converts incoming s into a combination. > > He tried calling me. I tried calling him.

I hope that it works! --Tak Ariga ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: {utzoo, decvax, ihnp4, cbosgd, utcsri, mnetor}!utcs!utcdfc!cssu ARPAnet: cssu%cdfc.toronto.edu@csnet-relay.arpa CSnet: cssu%cdfc.toronto.edu@csnet-relay.csnet University of Toronto -- Toronto, Canada -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
