Josh Kennedy wrote in a message to Russ Derry:
As you have seen by some of the replies that you are not going to get any
support here, as a proponent of Shareware and Freeware, I suggest to you that
you obtain legal copies of Qmodem, *Do Not Solicit for Pirated copies here or
any where.*  Doing what you are asking is outright illegal and immoral, as it
is taking money out of the pockets of people dedicated to programming and are
trying to make a living doing so. It is partly because of piracy that some
commercial products cost so much if pirates, were reduced the costs would
surely go down.  My strong suggestion to you is BUY THE PROGRAM, like any
other honest person.
Why respond privately when you posted a request for some people to do
something very illegal, and immoral.
Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

I also have a Zoom mode with RPI, and I also have that option turned on
when I run QModem.  If you do find the needed drivers to make the RPI option
actually work so I can get error correction and data compression with my

I replied too this I think from another BBS?  Anyway I tried too
correct my message and I couldn't get back too the message.  Anyway
You have too goto the Ports setup in the windows control program and
edit them from there.  You have too select and IRQ and address away
from the one that your mouse is currently using too avoid conflicts
when your running software that involves the use of both the modem
and the mouse.  For example if mouse is using com 1 port address 2E8
or similar?  You'll need too adjust your port address on COM 4 so
that it will not conflict with the mouse.  See your machines manual
for how-to tips on customizing The Com ports.  I take it your
insterested in setting up an internal modem?  In Windows adjust port 4
buad rate too the highest setting for the buad rate (19200) 8N1, Base
IO Port Address 02E8 IRQ 3. Flow Control Xon/Xoff..  These are the
current settings that I am using with my modem and it Works GREAT! No
errors whats-so-Ever!    I tried too answer this through another echo
but I couldn't get back too correct my mistakes in the last message.
So if you receive 2 messages with the same subject matter, that's why..
Hope this helps you?  Let me know okay?  I posted this Earlier on the BBS
and My Mail reader messed up and saved this too text rather then send it
Let me know if you recieved this, okay?

The RPI that Mustang refers to in its software is the older

Write your reply.

assistant: Josh, FIRST, please ONLY use your real name, as you did in previous messages.
Using an alias such as this does give credence to the idea that you *are*
soliciting pirated software.
      Re-read your original message with an open mind.  *I*, along with
others, took it as a solicitation for someone to pirate you a copy also.  You
used poor wording, and definitely never mentioned either 'shareware' or
'evaluation' version, allowing others to easily come to the (possibly) wrong
conclusion.  Right now I am unsure if you really were trying to pirate, or
just made a simple mistake in wordage.
      To the best of my knowledge, there are NO non-commercial versions of
Qmodem/Pro, however if you really are in desperate need for a copy, I'd
suggest that you contact Mustang Software and ask them.
      Please cease this thread, as it is totally non-productive.  If you must
reply, take it to netmail!

Could not find a page for ZOOM modems. I did find out, however, that
he only RPI driver presently available is for Windows. it's in a file
called "WRP1224B.ZIP." Perhaps you can find it on a local board if you
need it. Be warned, it eats about a meg of drivespace.
