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. -- Aaron D. Yonka [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] http://phoenix.aps.muohio.edu/users/adyonka/home.html
