[comp.sys.atari.st] ASCII Uploads and Modem Problems

terrell@OHIO-STATE.ARPA (Eric Terrell) (12/22/86)

To summarize an earlier posting, someone noticed that while his computer & 
modem could receive files error-free, frequent errors happened transfering
files from his ST to another computer.  He asked if the problem is with
his modem.

I have a different modem (smarteam 103/212a) and am in exactly the same
situation - receives almost never have errors, but sends often have
frequent errors, although sometimes sends are error-free.

Although this is not a very big problem, it is somewhat annoying.  Anyone
have any explanations?

A question for which I don't anticipate getting an answer:  is it possible
to sample the mouse button without allow the selection of menu items during
the sample?  I'm using the get_event function in OSS Personal Pascal.
