I downloaded the QVT program for Windows but it just locks my computer everytime I try to connect. I have issued the proper (I think its the proper) modem setup strings but it still locks my computer -it's a Gateway 2000 16Mhz AT compat. Any help would really be appreciated because 132 columns sounds great to me.
