A question about Desterm 2.0. I recently downloaded Desterm and am currently evaluating it. In trying things out I tried the 40 column mode (which I would definitely want to use if it worked). I found however, that when I switch to 40 columns and thick pixels the terminal mode screen gets wierd. I get vertical bars and the top status line gets messed up and nothing meaning- ful can be done. Has anyone else tried this mode? Does it work? I got no errors when un-sfx'ing the files. I would like to use the 40columns in some instances but maybe I mis-understood how they were supposed to work. So far the other things I looked at work fine. Warren @col.hp.com

Now for my problem I am unable to upload using any of the available protocals at any speed ( I have tried from 300 - 9600 ) it seems that after the first packet is transmitted desterm either times out ( xmodem protocals ) or doesn't even send a packet ( ymodem & ymodem batch ) the only file I have been able to successfully send was an 384 byte file. My set up consists of DesTerm v2.0, (2) 1581 drives a 1750 REU ( being used as a ram disk ), 1351 mouse enabled, modems used were GVC 2400 bps w/MNP 5, AT&T 2400 bps 2224CEO w/MNP 4, AT&T 2296A 9600 bps w/MNP 4, in all cases I tried with MNP enabled & disabled at 8-N-1. Can anyone offer any help or suggestions as to how I can solve this problem. -- +~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ + Trevor L.

I'm currently running DesTerm v2.00 on my 128D, and I have no problems
with 40-column thick pixel mode. Works just fine. The characters look like
the IBM CGA 40-column mode (at least while using des.ibmset). Anyone else?
