I use procomm on a compaq 386 with a hayes modem. WHy do I get this behavior. It even happens at work. the terminal server has a wired modem going out at 8N but I have to set my terminal session to 7E. The protocols are identical too aren't they? ANy explanations appreciated. pat -- ============================================================================= Pat @ grebyn.com | If the human mind was simple enough to understand, 301-948-8142 | We'd be too simple to understand it. =============================================================================
