assistant: Hi guys, I caught this thread, here's the bif. You need to find
  drop to Dos program. A Mustang rep. once told me to get "DOORWAY
  working" What you need to do is find the Doorway program, usually
  listed as DRWY231.ZIP or its latest number. Put Doorway in your Qmodem
  directory, and make a batch file that Qmodem will call to execute
  Doorway when you drop to Dos. The correct batch commands are contained
  in Doorway docs (thats the "bad command" you saw). I've tried other
  drop to Dos programs with Qmpro without success. DRWY231 works good
  by itself. Good Luck, share the success story.

Write your reply.

assistant: I have tried this when the dos program running in Windows and
that is the only time that I have a problem with the flicker and most all
of the things you have described.  If you are running under windows then
that could be the problem or at least that has been what I found.  When
I run the dos program from dos it works fine.  I am not sure if the
problem is in the test drive also but I use qmpro on this end.

Write your reply.

assistant: Greetings!
 Have recently upgraded from a Supra/Fax modem to a faster modem, which is
 produced by US Robotics, a 33.6kps modem. Now, my old version of QmPro will
 no longer recognize the faster capabilities, as I have exceeded the modems
 that the version was programed to recognize.
 This being the case, I need to know what are the newest features of the
 latest versions of Qmpro?  Since I have been using Qmpro for so many years,
 I would really like to stay with the product, if it is reasonable in price,
 and would recognize the new features that my new modem is going to be
apable
 of.  For example, sometime in January, I am supposed to be able to upgrade
o
 57.6Kps, so would like to have a communications program that is capable of
 keeping up with this new feature.  Any ideas?
 Thanks.
 Richard

assistant: I used to use QModem Test Drive for quite a while. I had version 4.5 and 4.6
and I think those are the latest available. I suspect that there is no modem
configuration for any 28.8 modems in the configuration file. That doesn't
mean you can't use it. It just means you will have to find out stuff like
the initialization string for your modem. There are some "default" strings
that might work but that assumes you know something about "AT" commands.
If you don't, I'm not the best person to ask. Try one of the modem related
echos.

assistant: Hmm, we're bumping into each other all over the place, aren't we?
I use QmodemPro, a successor to Qmodem.  It uses QMPRO.xxx instead of
QMODEM.xxx for many of its files, but the following probably applies
anyway.
The BEW file is a list of other files to be uploaded as a batch.  It
gets created a couple of ways when you create such a list.  I suppose
it could get deleted when you upload a single file at a later time,
but the QMpro book doesn't say anything about that.
My system has a QMPRO.BEW from 1995 that never got deleted.  (Until I
researched this answer, I didn't even know it got created!)
Maybe you have your account set up to do batch uploads by default and
Qmodem is telling you there's no list of files to upload?
