I just downloaded BackTalk 1.55a and it doesn't work for me either. It starts up, and I can access all the menus, except for one thing -it does not communicate to my modem. It's the only program with this problem — everything else I have works, including NComm 1.9, NComm 2.0, GT (ADOS 1.3 only), and even Diga!. My system: A2000 w/5 Meg RAM, GVP Series II w/52Meg Quantum, df0:, df2:, and df3:, ADOS 2.04 and 1.32 (via Multistart), and Anchor Automation 2400E modem. The system's relatively standard, but there is one possible difference. It's one of the first U.S. 2000's, so old it had the problematic Cherry keyboard (replaced long ago however). That's the only thing I can think of — that BackTalk may have a problem with a very early hardware version. Any ideas? P.S. I got NComm 2.0, and it doesn't seem to work with Compuserve B. Did it ever? –apl
