Write your reply.

assistant: It *IMMEDIATELY* identifies the fact that someone in authority is
speaking.
      No, they wouldn't.  But it would show who *is* the "Echo Moderator".
      In my mailer (InterMail), 'Alt-N' would do the trick.  The same goes
or
FrontDoor.  The tag line also contains an address, another clue.

Write your reply.

assistant: Just a suggestion - it is not in WinOLX, but rather the way the packet
is received from Silver Express.  You need to go to your settings in the
BBS and tell it you want to zip it and receive it as Q-Modem.  There is
something else, but I can't remember what.  Maybe you can try contacting
the sysop of the BBS.

assistant: ALAN,
Since I bet you have had enough of me sending.SCR files your way.  I am
sending #7 QMAIL.SCR and calling it quits for this message replying
session.  With the 7-8 .SCR files I have launched your way.  I am sure
you will be able to be soon on your way to being the Mailrun script file
writer extrodinaire.  If you need any other help or suggestions don't
hesitate to ask and if I can help or know the answers I will be happy to
help you out.  One last suggestion that will be extremely beneficial in
helping to assist you using QmodemPro.  If you don't have a copy of the
"QmodemPro Owner's Manual\Book", spend the $31.40 (9/94 invoice price)
because it will be money well spent, believe me!  I gave my original
manual away to a friend and ordered a 2nd copy last year.  Mustang had
it FedEx to me within 2 days.  Anything you need to know or are
requiring help with like creating mailrun script files are listed in the
manual. I personally would have been lost and without a clue many times
when using the QmodemPro features, if I didn't have the manual to refer
to. Here's the MSI product order no. just in case you don't have it, and
best of luck to you in life and with using Qmpro.  Take care!
                        MSI Order No. - (805) 873-2500

assistant: Hi,
I test driving QMPro for Windows, and I've got a major problem that's
got me completely stumped. The program WON'T UPLOAD AT ALL!!!
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Everything else about the program works as advertised, but every time I
try to upload a file, even a small QWK reply packet, the u/l starts, a
few blocks are transferred, then Craaash!!! The u/l aborts, and I'm back
to the BBS "u/l failed" screen.
This is not a BBS specific problem. I have tried it with 8 different
BBS's, both local and LD, with three different BBS software programs.
Neither is it line noise, because I can d/l without problem, and I've
never been troubled with line noise problems.
I've read every help screen and checked every configuration option
that's accessible from the terminal screen. Maybe it's something so
simple, I'm just overlooking it, but I can't find anything wrong!!!
I'm using a Hayes Ultra 14400, and that is the configuration I chose,
when I installed the program.
If any of you have any idea of how to correct this problem, PLEASE HELP!

assistant: I hope someone can help me. I have QmPro V1.00 for Windows and on an average
I get 1380-1400 CPS and 70-80% efficency when downloading or uploading. I'm
also using CYBERCOM in place of the windows comm driver. Is there anything I
can do to get a faster CPS rate and efficency? I also am using a ZOOM
Internal 14.4K
fax modem with a 16550A UART on the modem board. Finally are there any
upgrade or patch files out, so that I can upgrade my verison?

I was just on MSN and somebody said they got it for $69.00 at CompUSA.
I found an old Qmodem v4.5 and they honored the $49.00 price.
