assistant: Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll try it and check with the sysop.  The
only problem is I've had e-mail on several boards and I've had this
problem with all of them.  I also got a new copy of Qmodem TD and
OLX-TD.  Nothing has helped so far.

assistant: Yes I do.
I've attempted to download that conference on each of the boards I have
internet e-mail on.  It hasn't corrected the problem.
I also us qmodem 4.6 (TD).  My off line reader is OLX-TD whish is also a
Mustang product.  I just don't know what to try further.  If you think
of anything else let me know.

     You should try to get Qmodem Pro 1.53 for DOS, it well worth it.
  I had a copy of QM Pro 1.1 for Windows, sent it back MSI, got QM Pro
  1.52.  Sold it, QM Pro 2.0 for Win 95, and then went out and bought
  QM Pro 1.53.  It what I'm using now, and it works as will in Win 95 as
  it does in DOS.
     In the DOS version of QM Pro, the Scripts are easier and can do a
  lot more, too.  I can download my "QWK" packets to a mail directory,
  instead of the download defalt.

have concluded it has not been downloaded is because i get a note with

Write your reply.

assistant: Would someone please advise how I can get the ~ key to work in QMPRO
1.53 terminal mode?  In terminal mode all of the number keys and
SHIFT-signs work just fine, including the _`_ <reverse apostrophe> key.
When the _`_ key is struck as SHIFT-~....there is absolutely no response
in terminal mode.  As seen here, I have no problem using the ~ in my TXT
editor, so I know that it is functional.
I have tried modifying the hardware configuration without success.  I
would be very appreciative for any help I can receive in resolving this
dilemma.  The ~ is a very critical key as it appears in many URL's
needed for internet access.  I would hate to have to utilize another
COMM program.  I tried the ~ key in the ICOM program terminal mode, and
it worked just fine.
Your HELP would be appreciated.

    Make sure, if the BBS has it, HOT KEY feature is turn off.         +

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
I have a location that uses a qmodem script to send a daily log file
to a remote host.
The script works perfect, and never fails to deliver, EXCEPT,
when the host is off line due to power failure, ect.
Now... who would need anything more?    Just one thing....
The script exits to dos and every thing is lovely, when the host
answers.  The problem is ...... getting the script to exit
when the host is off line.
Qmodem will sit there and dial till the cows come home.
I have tried  "TIMEOUT 60 LABEL" as per the qmodem script language
reference.  However, when the DIAL command is in effect,  ( continously
dialing ) the timeout set at the beginning of the script seems to
be disabled, or "not timing".
There must be some simple way to do this, that I am overlooking.
Hopefully I have made the problem as "clear as mud".
Any suggestion at all will be greatly appreciated.

        Have you read your Qmodem Pro Manual Chapter 5 - QmodemPro Host?
Be sure to read this whole chapter BEFORE attempting to use Host Mode...
To begin setting up the host, go to the "Config" Section of the
QmodemPro main menu bar. Select "Host" to pop up the Host Mode Config
dialog box.  You should select either a Closed or Callback Mode.  To
facilitate Drop to DOS, fill in Your Drop to DOS Password. (Required)
Select Full Path for Sysop Path Support.  If you want to be able to
Shutdown the system, remotely, then you must also specify a Shutdown
Password. Hope this helps...

 I was told by a Mustang rep to get DOORWAY and put it in the Qmpro dir.
 Doorway is a 'drop to Dos door' and is found on many BBS as DRWY231.ZIP
 or whatever the latest version is. Doorway works fine by itself but I
 was never able to get Qmpro to call Doorway from a batch file as its
 supposed to. Good luck. Share the success story.

assistant: I took your advise and found the file I wanted only couldn't
download it. The telnet program doesn't have anyway to tell it to accept
a download. I may be missing something as I've never done it this way
before. So I know I should be able to use Qmodempro for windows to do
this, so I tried to set up a connection with it but I get a message
saying cannot find host. Does the" qmwin telnet bbs.mustang.com " go
where the phone number usually goes? The directions say to put that on
the command line. Where is that if not in the phone number location.
Thanks, Vern
P.S.  I figured out what I was doing wrong and did eventually get the
file. Thank You. It seems the "qmwin telnet bbs.mustang.com" in the help
menu is a bit misleading.  When I put bbs.mustang.com it worked fine.
