[comp.sys.att] Procomm Plus Question ...

rdj@ttrdf.UUCP (Robert D. Jackson) (03/02/88)

I have been "Test Driving" Procomm Plus, and have a problem.
I use Crosstalk all the time set to 9600,N,8,1 and it works
great on a direct connect to Unix.  My terminal is also set
to this with no probelm.  I set Procomm Plus to the same thing 
and it gets brain damaged (i.e. prints characters that are not 
recognizably English).  It seems to works better when I set it 
to 7 data bits.  Don't you need 8 data bits to use XMODEM?  I 
thought I read that somewhere.  Is Crosstalk just a more robust
package?  Is Procomm right and just not very robust?  What is
the deal here?

Thanks in advance,
