assistant: While this is true, I have not had total luck making it work well.
 There is an excellent little Telemate script called TXT2TM I got of
 Nancy Porter's "Land of the Gypsy's" bbs: 1 503 297 0626.
 It will import upto 1000 entries (Telemate limit).

Write your reply.

assistant: Yeah, I did too at first.  Mine didn't *fix* itself however, I had to
LOOK at my U\L DIRECTORY PATH, and make sure, when ZMODEM started, that
the file was IN THAT DIRECTORY.
I use several places to store my files, so it's hardly ever the same.
To contend with this, I usually have to "home" (to beginning of line
where the filename is displayed), and "insert" the correct path, in
front of it (if it's the correct filename; if not, this is the last
chance to correct it).
Zat clear as mud? and does this sound similar to your problem?

assistant: Hi Winfred,
 Tried the Telemate for Windows program and am fairly well impressed.
 Have had a no problem install and it is working just as fast as the dos
 version (on a P90Mhz with 16550 and Win95).
 I would like to register and being in Australia, the simplest way fro
 me would be through Compuserve. Can it be done thru them and if so what
 is the no. required?
 Looking forward to the 32bit version that can handle the longer file
 names.

assistant: Hi Will,
    While transfer of UU or script files is not universally
prohibited by FIDO rules, most of the FIDO echos, including this
one, do prohibit them in their echos.  The Telemate echo rules
specifically address this issue.
    There are a number of reasons for this, but the main reasons
are as follows;
    UU and other types of encoding render a message to a file, and
the echo is not a file echo, it is for messages only.
    Encoding is usually of benefit to one user, therefore sending
lengthy encoded files world wide is a huge waste that the intended
recipient could easily avoid by picking up the file in his local
area.
    Virus code has been known to be embedded in encoded echo
messages....
hope that helps.

After installing TMW, everything appeared to be working normally.  I was
getting solid 28800 connects with a USR V.Everything modem.  After
about two weeks, my connects are now 9600 and I can't figure out why.  I
have looked at my entire setup and nothing appears changed.  I also have
Procomm Plus and Qmodem Pro and they connect fine at 28800.  I have the
port locked at 115200 and this setup saved in the NVRAM.  Entering ATZ
or AT&F does not clear the 9600 set in the active profile.  Even turning
the modem off and back on, I am still stuck at 9600.  If I shut down TMW
and startup either Procomm or Qmodem, my active profile returns to
115200.  Has anyone had this happen or got some suggestions why this is
happening?  Thanks in advance.

MS Line Draw does support the IBM Character set, you need to check again.
Courier just supports the fixed spacing (Courier that ships with Win). Get

for Win95.  I found that graphical ones are just too slow and

is a couple text-based comm programs for OS/2, so why not
make for one for Win95 and keep us dos users happy.  I think
the advantage is that win95 specific version would use less
CPU, better file transfering without dozens of errors.  Is
this a possibility at all, a text version I mean??
