Crazy, eh?
This of course does leave you at the mercy of whoever did the soft flow control code for your terminal program. I've always used Procomm under msdos and never had much trouble (that I can remember anyway *). But my 386 blew its hard drive last week. Minicom under Linux.... isn't so trouble-free. :-( *)My time of lots of ASCII downloads was long long ago, I started developing ROG in 1998 and it soon left no room in RAM for any other programs. And then I got a REX which has TSDOS. Willard -- Willard Goosey goo...@sdc.org Socorro, New Mexico, USA I search my heart and find Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night. -- R.E. Howard
