Your problem is solved if you use "Ascom". The new problem is, it's not public domain, it's pay domain. Mark

From: Bill Rizzi <RIZZI@usc-isib.arpa> I have had a problem with Ascom - the 8-bit version (on a Kaypro) was not able to talk to the 16-bit version (on a DEC Rainbow 100). Actually, they could talk in terminal and BLOCK mode, but we really wanted BLOCKV mode to work so that a whole disk could be sent. No luck. Westico and Ascom said they have had "some minor problems" themselves but that it "should" work. Right. Also, the CPMUG protocol does not completely work with something like modem7 - Ascom never sends the "end of transfer" message back, letting modem7 hang until it times out. Otherwise, a very nice product - I like the human interface. Bill (RIZZI@ISIB) -------
