Hmm Possibly because Qmodem pro is a commercial product and as such there is
no
shareware version. I believe QM46td-*.zip is the latest shareware of any
Qmodem
program. perhaps a little misunderstanding on your part and theirs is what
caused this problem..

       You should be able to access their BBS even in DOS and the baud
rate will fall back to yours.  You will most likely have to leave a
question and then call back the next working day unless you leave it

assistant: Greetings:
I just recently switched from OS/2 to WIN95, because it got lonely on
such an isolated island.  However, one of the casulties of my switch
was having to drop Zap-o-com (my OS/2 term app).
Judging from my experience thus far with QModem/WIN95, it seems that
MSI could benefit from loading up ZOC on their OS/2 systems and taking
a good hard look at the convenience it offers.  There's a whole schmear
of little things in ZOC that I'm surprised didn't make it into QMW.
If the moderator will allow us to discuss this thread further, it might
be neat to see if anyone at MSI notices the discussion and takes it to
heart for the next release of QMW...
Regards,
Tim ==

assistant: Look, re-read what I said above.  I don't like win'95, will *never* run
it or recommend it to any of my clients, in fact I do everything I can to
discourage them from even thinking about it.  But, none of the participants
here are my clients, nor am I about to tell participants here what they
should or shouldn't do, outside of the echo rules.
      There's lots of things I have strong opinions about, but until this
win'95 virus thread came up, you've never once heard them voiced here.  If
you want to hear them, feel free to contact me via netmail or email.
      My opinion of win'95 is just that, *my* opinion.  Nothing more and
nothing less.  If it works for what you're doing, so be it.  It doesn't for
me, and I won't waste my time fooling with it.
      Thank you.

the faxes and QMP95 gets the data calls?  (Automatically, that is).
