assistant: Please check the CTS/RTS flow control in both Telemate and your modem. In
Telemate, it is under the Options/Terminal dialog. It should be ON. Please
refer
to the modem manual for the AT command. Usually it is AT&Kx where x 1, 2 or 3
depends on what modem you are using.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Mike,
Heh, heh .... I think this one falls under the general heading of "One of
those
things".  Although not with Telemate, I have had a few strange and unusual
events occur on my system before (haven't we all?) that we have no idea it
happened, what we did to make it happen, and its never happened since.
I kinda think this might be one of "those", eh?
While it was probably alarming at the time, I sorta think it isn't anything
o
really get overly worried about since it appears to be a very unique problem
specific to only one machine rather than a "widely reported problem with
Telemate", per se.
In short ... make a mental note of it, and "Drive On", dude.....

assistant: roblem.
Without logging on to a BBS, bring up Telemate, go to the terminal
screen, (if your TM automatically comes up into the dial menu, hit Esc
to get to the terminal screen), now hit PgUp.  You should see two menu
tables drop down with Zmodem automatically highlighted.
If you don't then you need to reinstall TM.
If you do, then you must have something else configured incorrectly.  Go
through all the settings and double check.
Also you did not mention if your problem is with only one BBS, if you
did, I missed it.  So another possibility is to try another BBS.
Good luck.

    2) One of my users has problems with CRC errors on uploads with
       16550 enabled. If disabled uploads are fine.  Downloads are

Everything in the config seemed O.K. and, after playing around a little

instead of ANSI.  Changed it to ANSI, and all is well.  As a matter of
fact, some of the other features on the BBS have come back.
Thanks again.

The Telemate Enhanced Host Ver4h supports Version 4.12 Script. If the New
Windows version doesn't differ to greatly from this. Then it will. But this
is a factor that only you and Winfred Hu would know at this time.
I am not a Windows Person, Sir. I know Telemate pretty good, but not Windows.

assistant: Hey Y'all... I know this probably isn't in the right conference, but I
there are plenty of 'experts' out there that can help me on this... or
at least give me an oppinion.
I need BBS software... not for me... for work.  I need a good quality
low-maintence BBS setup that I can set up at work so that my employees
can call from home and get onto a net, run DOS programs, and get data
files such as documents, spreadsheets, etc. which they can work on
at home, and check E-mail.
Right now, cost is no factor since I want something top-of-the-line
that I won't have to worry about in the future.  I would be the Sysop
of the board and only those belonging to my unit can get access.. a
locked board for WORK only.  Security is a main factor... I need to
be able to allow only specific processes only.. no high overhead, but
capable of expansion.
Will a simple HOST program such as Telemate Host or something similar
work for this?
I d/l'ed the TM4Host program, but haven't been able to get it to work.
I'm not sure that it can do what I want it to, but I'm trying.  I didn't
write the script, but I get errors and can not track them down.
Right now I'm working on PC-Anywhere for DOS, PC-Anywhere for Windows,
and Central Point Commute as trial attempts...
But alas!  They are a lot more work than they are worth at the moment.
If there are anybody out there with any oppinions, ideas, etc.  please
let me know.  I will welcome any an all suggestions.  Oh, BTW, any
sources for your suggested solutions also.  Thanks a bunch for all helpers!

   1:105/317 or 1:105/314 or 1:105/330
To FTP to the location of the files:
  ftp europa.com
 Log on as anonymous  and use your Email address as the password.
 Then change to the directory where the files are at:
   cd /outgoing/telemate  for the main Telemate files
   cd /outgoing/telemate/util  for your files and any other 3rd party
utilities.
  Most people that know how to FTP should know how to transfer files, but a
few things to keep in mind:
   1.  Once you get into the Telemate directory, type the        word:  bin
       This puts the transfer into binary mode, which is required for
non-text files.
   2.   get filename
        This will get you the file requested
        mget *.*
        This will get you each file in the directory one at a time after it
prompts you for a yes to receive it or no to skip.
    3.  ls  is the same as DIR in DOS
    4.  Note that case is important, if it is lower case it must be entered
in lower case and visa versa with upper case.  Also note the forward slashe
instead of backslashes.
  You are welcome Ed. And remember, Jim Smoot is the only one that gets
addressed as "Sir".  He really likes that kind of thing. <grin>
