Write your reply.

assistant: Your problem is that Qmodem has not yet started execution of the
Script, at the point where it is STILL DIALING.
        With your phone book displayed and the relevant phone number
hi-lighted, hit the REVISE button, and the "Revise entry" dialog box will
be displayed.  Look to the right lower side of the Phone Number box and
you will see RETRIES with a 0 and an up and down arrow beside.  Set this
count to the maximum number of retires which you desire, say 5 or 10.
If there is no answer after that many tries, dialing will STOP with any
on screen message. With retries set at Zero, Qmodem will dial forever...
        Hope this helps.

Write your reply.

assistant: The United States government owns and operates 1200 airplanes.
These are civilian aircraft of 100 different varieties owned and
operated by civilian government agencies.
        The cost of the aircraft has been estimated at $2 billion. The
depreciation runs at least $200 million a year. The annual upkeep costs
another $800 million.
        Because the planes are not standardized, each different
model--from over 25 different manufactures----requires its own specially
trained pilot, mechanics, and individual spare parts, raising the cost
even further.

        Jason,
                Open Qmodem, click on "Connection", then click "Direct
        Connection".  This will bring up a direct connection screen.
        Make sure everything is as it should be, (Comm port, baud rate,
        etc.) then click OK, and you can then issue commands directly to
        your modem.

assistant: hey
        Your more than welcome.  As far as making things any easier, the
answer is no.  There are a lot of things that should be fixed.  QmPro95
is not anywhere as user friendly as their DOS version.  I have used this
communications package ever since John Friel came out with it 9 or 10
years ago.  I guess it is time to explore new horizons.

"AT&F" and ATZ..all is working well Except with a small problem, the
modem won't let me "hang up" when I need to.(A BBS locks up and "ALT-H"
is needed or wrong BBS dialed, etc etc.) I've done that, but it just
won't hang up and put me offline. I'm stuck online.  Even if I call a
BBS, and decide not to join that BBS at login, I can't hang up.
I'm using the ^~^~^~+++^~^~^~ATH^M  nothing happens. I have made a

assistant: Had countless hours with USR on my problem. I could connect with
any BBS with the 28.8 *.pdf modem string except one. Of course
that was the BBS that was my main source. Once I got to tech level
3 at USR they gave me this string that solved all my problems.
AT&F&B1&H1&L0&R2&A3&K3X4S54=96
I think the S54=96 helped my problem.  Don't ask me what it is
it just helped. :-)

Well, no, it's never going to work at that point in a BBS session. To

why <AltH> would not work at this point, though. Go through your
