[ munch... munch... munch... :-) ] I have been using a public domain communications program called MEX. I have it configured for an Otrona Attache. My problem is that MEX seems to be eating the <esc> character, thus defeating the terminal emulation capabilities of the Attache. Question: Does anyone know of a patch to fix this problem. ps. I am running version 1.0 with the MEXPAT10 patch applied. -- Mike Blackwell ihnp4!aicchi!mdb "What big black helicopter???"

The problem is easily fixed. In all the user overlays for MEX and
MODEM7 there is an equate that sets whether control characters are
passed along to the console in the terminal mode. Look for this:
IGNCTL: DB NO ;yes=do not send control characters
;above CTL-M to CRT in terminal mode
;no=send any incoming CTL-char to CRT
Chances are yours is set to YES instead of NO.

Try setting the filter off (STAT FILTER OFF) when you load Mex. With it on all control characters except lf,cr,bs will be blocked out. Arun Baheti <NBaheti.es@Xerox> "Life is hard; then you die."
