assistant: Dear All,
I have a friend on a BBS that can make my comm program go into
auto download while on the BBS.  He can do it in live chat mode. I am
not sure what he does. But while we are in chat mode on the BBS he
can make all the other peoples and my comm program go into Auto-
Download mode. He says he can do it on any comm program and any
BBS. He will not tell me how he does it. I offered him many things he
still says "NO". He says it will work on Comm programs that support
Z Modem transfer protocol. I think it may be a code, not sure. Does
anyone know how he does it? And if so how can I do it to him:)
Thank You!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Everyone,
        I have tried running ZFAX (v3.24) in DESQview and in Windows for
 WorkGroup 3.11. But somehow it would not work properly. I use a ZyXEL
 u1496b with bios version 6.13.
        ZFAX under DESQVIEW 2.63/QEMM 7.50 would work fine for a few
 minutes and even accept a few voice calls. The problem would arise after
 ZFAX locks up and I get this (t)erminate or (r)eboot message on the screen.
        ZFAX under WFWG3.11 would not run properly at all. It would answer
 a voice call and *drag* the recorded intro messages to play... Choppy
 playback too.
        Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any solutions? Are there
 any alternative programs that would do the same thing as ZFAX? Any help
 will be appreciated.
 regards,

I don't know the code, or care to (might try looking at the screen), I'm
pretty sure all he has to do is send a fake zmodem first packet. If your term
program is in auto download mode, it won't know the difference and try and do
the download. It should time out in a period of time (unless he keeps sending
junk)

Unfortunately the ring/s carry on through the modem to cause the voice phone

I used to have my bbs and voice phone on the same line using the distinctive
ring, the only problem was that I had to turn the ringer off in order to get
any sleep.
What I did was turn the ringer off and plug the answering machine in with a
message about having people announce themselves.
This way the modem only answered the data/fax calls while not picking up the
line for the voice calls which of course the answering machine answered after
2 rings.  People then yelled to pick up the line.
A bit of a kludge but it worked and solved the problem of the ringer
continually going.
