David, I'm sorry you have't tried MEX114 yet and feel it's too complex compared to MDM7. It has an identical user-interface to MDM7xx with command extensions that you can OPTIONALLY use (you could continue to use the commands you already know until you learn more about it). Wouldn't you find it much easier, for instance, to tell MEX something like GET TOADBIOS.ASM and have it automatically send out the command to your host to start the transfer and then additionally tell itself to R TOADBIOS.ASM? This is easy to do with MEX's READ files! I have another that I use with RCPM transfers that lets me say: GETL SAP44 SAP44.COM which automatically sends out to the other end: XMODEM L SAP44 SAP44.COM to extract that file from SAP44.LBR and then it tells MEX: R SAP44.COM It lets me automatically dial a list of phone numbers, dynamically load key strings, phone numbers (with optional baud rate specification as a part of the phone number list), send out complex automatic logins, do BYE at the end of a session, etc. It's like having SUBMIT inside MDM7! --Keith
