CompuServe Messages

Hi, Nancy; in a way, I am glad to hear you are having this problem, because I am as well and was beginning to wonder whether the fault was mine. I take it you are using Version 2? Earlier versions worked fine for me. I have managed to contact the author in Norway by E-mail, whose somewhat laconic reply was that he had not been able to test the CompuServe QuickB code but would try to put matters right with the next version! I've concluded by trial and error that selecting the "CompuServe-B" protocol option NEVER works but using QuickB set up as an external protocol will work, on average, once every 4-5 tries. If it fails just wait for 20 sec or so for the handshake to fail and a system error message to be sent and then try again until you lock on. Do NOT try sending a break because that freezes everything, I find, and one has to log off and restart from scratch. Pity; I am thinking of dropping NComm and using something else. Hope this helps. If you manage to get round the problem some better way, please let me know. Regards, Michael, London.
