Ron, I have a manual for a VENTEL 212 + right in front of me, and I've used one for several years. I assume that you only want the back panel switch settings. In the following table, U means the switch is in the up position and D means Down.. Panel F Panel G ------- ------- 1 -- U 1 -- U 2 -- D 2 -- U 3 -- U 3 -- U 4 -- D 4 -- U 5 -- D 5 -- D 6 -- D 6 -- U 7 -- D 7 -- U 8 -- U 8 -- D 9 -- D 9 -- U 10 -- U 10 -- D What these settings mean is the following: F1 -- Modem controls DTR --- (disabled, terminal sends DTR). F2 -- Transmit timing signal -- (disabled for async communications). F3 -- Enable sync clock of receiver -- disabled F4 -- Slave transmit clock to rec. clock -- disabled F5 -- Not used. F6 -- Make busy on Analog loop back test -- enabled.. F7 -- not used. F8 -- Speed select from HS switch -- when HS is depressed: 1200 baud. F9 -- Answer indicate on pin 22. ---- enabled. F10 - Originate and auto answer/orginate only --- set for the first. H1 -- Dial mode -- pulse/tone --- set here for pulse. H2 -- High speed trans. mode --- async/bit-sync. --- set for async. H3 -- Local copy --- disabled H4 -- Blind dial -- disabled. H5 -- Respond to remote DL --- disabled H6 -- Send Space disconnect --- disabled. H7 -- Receive " " " H8 -- Loss of carrier disconnect -- enabled H9 -- High Speed only --- Disabled. H10 - Character length -- 9/10 bits --- set for 10. I hope this helps. I'm not familiar at all with the communications program that you mentioned. However, if you're able to send ascii files and communicate otherwise, other than sending and receiving binary files, I would suspect that you may have to change your PC settings to 8 bit char length, 1 stop bits, and no parity. Let the xmodem program handle the handshaking and protocol. Good luck, and if you think I can help anymore, drop me a line. Jack
