assistant: I don't know about the Windows version of Qmodem Pro, but my DOS version
lets you select the terminal emulation used for each phone book entry.
When I call a number in the phone book, the software uses pre-defined
terminal emulation, script file, and modem settings automatically.  If I
set the phone book entry for OCC to "RIP", then the auto-detect on
Wildcat! gives me RIP.  If I call using my standard "ANSI" setting, the
auto-detect gives me color ANSI.  I find the terminal emulation setting
very handy when I set up accounts that I call routinely.

Write your reply.

assistant: Well first of all we need to know the version of QModem you are using.  I am
assuming the test drive version.
In answer to your first question, yes there is a Windows version of Qmodem
put out by Mustang Software.  Not bad, in my opinion, but as far as Windows
comm programs go, I still like Procomm.
Second question, if you are using the test drive version, you are halfway
there.  I am assuming you have selected your programs to download.  Those
garbage characters are from the remote BBS.  Hit Page-Down.  A menu screen
will pop up.  Select "Z" for Zmodem (assuming that is what protocol you
selected from the remote BBS).  A prompt will appear asking you which
directory you would like to download those files to.  Once you hit enter the
download will begin.
Hope it helps :)

QmodemPro for Windows allows you to choose either Ansi or Rip (comes
with many extras for Rip)  QmPro for windows has a lot of great
features, I was a Qmodem test drive user for years, but when I bought
Qmodem Pro for windows I will n;ot use any thing else.  There is even
Olx for windows now and QmPro lets you set macros and dI can go right
into OLX from QmodemPro without having to close QmPro first.

 Yes. v1.1c I think is the latest.
 That means the remote has initiated the protocol and it is trying to "talk"

for autodownload, press PGDN and select Zmodem. To set it up for
autodownload, go to the Config - Protocols - Internal - Zmodem menu and
