First off, you've got the wrong newsgroup for this. We forgive him tho right netfolks? Second, check the configuration on the Multiplexor ( you CAN reconfigure it right?). Make sure that XON/XOFF handshaking is turned OFF! You only want DTR or HARDWARE handshaking. What's happening is that the binary files you are sinding across have these characters contained in them. When the multiplexor sees an XOFF thats actually part of your file it doesn't know the difference. And guess what? It stops sending. Another thing to try is to make sure that the Mux is set to PASS FLOW CONTROL. Try it. I've had the same problem with a MICOM and it worked for me. -- Michael R.
