assistant: Actually - there is little or no support for QModem for Windows these
days either. As far as I can tell they have no plans to upgrade it. And
you can probably get it very cheaply - $29 at Software Etc, same for the
DOS version, if they have it on the shelf.
  Just wanted you to know we have all been left in the Net dust.

assistant: I have been using as my main communication program QMODEM-TD 4.5.  I
recently got another cpu and put the old modem into it.  I UL the
QMODEM-TD into it's HD and configured it exactly the same as the other
program in the old cpu.  Here is what it now does.
I type in qmodem and the screen lights up and goes to the termial screen
and a message appears saying "The CTS signal is down.  Waiting for CTS.
Press any key to bypass CTS".
Usally the initialization string is on this page but didn't appear.  The
toggle for the CTS is turned on.
I go to the address page and tried to call another computer.  I hear the
dialing and the wineing tone of connecting to it but no picture of the
connected BBS only the my address page.
I've configured the program exactly as the one I'm using now but it
won't work even with the same modem.
I'd appreciate any help as I can't call the mustang support because of
their credit card charge for service help.

assistant: You say you UL'd the Qmodem-TD to you new HD. Did you copy all
the Directories? It is a long time since I used TD and I can't remember
if it had all the same directories as Qmodem Pro or not... But this
might be one of the causes of some of your problems. If you copied all
the Directories and Files and used the same modem, you should NOT have
had to do any re-configuring at all, except if the COM port changed. The
fact that the modem dials would indicate that the COM port is the same,
and that is not your problem.
        The fact this message is appearing, indicates there is NO
hardware handshaking active. If you were using an external modem with
insufficient wires, this could be the cause, but I assume it is an
Internal modem.
        Again with CTS not active, according to my Qmodem Manual this
could be your problem.

causes these messages to bounce back as undeliverable.  Why is OLX so

is there a switch I'm missing to turn this off?  TIA.

Write your reply.

assistant: Depending upon what you want to change in the configuration, you
may be able to do the job with a separate entry in your dialing
directory where you can select a different device, transfer
protocol, terminal emulation, etc.
If you need to do more than that, one way is to setup a separate
config file which you make active by copying or renaming to
QMPRO.CNF prior to launching QMPro.  You can do the whole thing
with a simple batch file.
