Hmmm.. I figured that might be the best choice... that VMODEM protocol came
along after I moved on from FTN...
Any pointers to info... what I am finding just keeps going to all that OS2
stuff for drivers.
So best to have this on a differing port then.(?) I guess I will have to flesh
out some more things but AFTER I see that this thing is even installable under
DOSBOX....

Hmm... well..I guess I will be finding out... VM's are CHEAP! :) ;)
I need tp dig up some more docs on this DOSbox thing.. never played with it...

Never played with it before... so I can't speak to it either.. Right now the
noise that is in my head... about using TLB (The Last Byte Memory Manager) in
there for EMS/XMS stuff... like I said it really is a bad idea to read echos at
night!!!! My imagination runs away with ideas on things! :) ;)

Really??? I would have expected that the input would parse for 0-9 and reject
anything and especially puke on . in there let alone letters..hmm....
HMMM.. interesting....
