Hi, just trying out Procomm Plus for Windows V2.1, & faxes work OK, but
when I log into a BBS & try to download a file using Zmodem protocol,
all I get at the transfer screen is something like this:

> *0000000008

Or something like it which keeps repeating.   No data comes down except
for the above which repeats every 5 secs or so, yet I can log on &
browse around the BBS OK. And the only way out is to hit CTRL-X several
times to abort the transfer.  I've tried changing Com port settings in
Windows Control panel (ie flow control) and tried using different
comm.drv's in System.INI  (tried comm.drv, cybercom.drv, and
rhsicomm.drv). My modem is a USR Courier V34+ external on a 16550 UART.

Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong, or what to use as an
init string as this is driving me nuts!

Using a computer is like eating an APPLE....if the first BYTE is sour, ROTate 
it round and have a NIBBLE on the other side!
