assistant: Hi Eric:
From the main QmodemPro (Ver 1.11a) screen, select OPTIONS, then
DEVICES, and finally, MODEM. This will bring up a screen of setting for
your modem. The one you are looking for is called DELAY AFTER. Pick a
number in second, save the dialogue, and you should be all set.

assistant: how can it be better than something that is functionally identical?
I picked up the version 5 about a year ago.. it was on "clearance" back
then too.. but for $25 w/ shipping... I got it because I liked it's
simplicity compared to the over-cluttered QmodemPro... even though it's
not necessary to 'register' the test drive version if used noncommercially..
I have called tech support once.. and like having the bound manual (instead
of my old dot-matrix printed test drive docs).. the bundled OLX doesn't
see much use as I run a Blue Wave door exclusively on my BBS.. I only
use it for the few BBS's that I call out to and use QWK mail on.

Write your reply.

assistant: Window
It will work with Qmodem 4.x, but you have to initiate the transfer
process. I assigned a batch file (which calls HSLINK) to a function key
and whenever I wanted to d/l with HSLink, I just hit the function key.
QmPro will work the same way, but if you setup the startup string, it
will auto download like Zmodem, thus making the function key
unnecessary.

comm program. Qmodem does not reflect what is typed at the terminal
command screen to the screen.
I have covered these tracks so far, with no success:
 Checked the modem setup string, and ATE1 is in there.
 Terminal emulation is ANSI.
 Set to Full Duplex.
Yet, when I type a command, nada!
Any ideas as to what else can cause this error?

assistant: Same here, QModem 1.0, Sportster 28.8 v.34/v.fc
Had a Sportster v.32, but never a problem.
I use AT&F1&K3S11=45. You shoudn't ever have to use E1.
I've been experimenting with this; when I use alt-E to toggle duplex,
(twice) the problem dissappears.
As soon as I switched to half duplex, and typed a command, viola!, it
appeared. When I switched back to full, I can still see the commands.

assistant: Hi, Bob,
Yeah, good to see you again. This is a strange case. The modem is
configured properly and using another comm program will dial out and
work flawlessly. I have done twenty or thirty installations of Qmodem,
and this is the only time this problem has cropped up as a lasting
problem. It's usually just a matter of switching to full duplex, and
voila, it's fixed. Not in this case, however.
Thanks and best regards,
Kent,

The quick config is AT&R1&C1&D2S0=0S11=50^M

I send faxes regularly and don't experience the problems you describe.
