Well, finally, I got my own unix pc to play around
with. I however encountered a few problems that I don't
know how to fix, and would like some help/hints on how to
fix them:

1) umodem to receive binary (and text) from Unix host
	did not quite work: it stops at middle of the
	transfer, and unix pc gave some error/diagnose
	about "time-out". I however successfully receive
	a very short file once.

	Copy screens works fine for now for me to receive files
	but not to send files.

	Sometimes because of these problems, I get one of these
	errors when I try to "umodem" again:

		a) a "system not respond" message from host, with
		a lot of crtl-S as input to host (from unix pc I suppose)
			
		b) Or, an error from pc at the first attempt to re-dial 
		the host, but usually second re-dial works. (umodem
		still doesn't work).

	Note: the line seems to be OK. In terminal emulation, I don't
	get much of extraneous garbage.


2) Every time I click the "HISTORY" command with call screen
	present (line is idle), the phone status disappears, and
	every other window disappears except the office window.
	I then cannot run the Phone Manager again, until I 
	shut-down or reboot the system.

3) Does the reset/break key work as default to stop a process from 
at least from i/o? Does not seem to work on mine.

THanks for any helps.
