Um, use class v1, not MIAVX1 if you use the semi-colon method described above.
With Hilgrave's HyperACCESS/5 for OS/2 telecommunications software (the full
version, not HyperACCESS Lite for Warp), and my Practical Peripherals
PM14400FXMT modem, I get transfers of .ZIP files using MCUG's Z-modem program
with no errors, and throughput about 16000bps.
I'll let Kent fill in the gandalf and Alpha details, as I don't have a clue
what they are.
