Hi!
It's been 4 months now that I've been trying to find a 
solution to this problem but I had no success. Maybe
someone can give me a clue.
Well, I have an IBM PS/2, 50z (a 286-machine) and I'm
running windows 3.1. I have an old version of procomm (v.2.4.2)
which is working perfectly. When I tried to run the
windows terminal it seems that the software doesn't
communicate with the modem and also anything I type
doesn't appear on the screen. 
I tried all sorts of tricks. I disconnected the mouse
in case it conflicts with the comm-1 port. I removed
the expanded memory card to check for any interference.
I called IBM and they washed their hands. I called
Microsoft and they tried (for more than 1/2 an hour)
to find any problem. Still no solution. I also got a 
new RS-232 in case there is a bad connection. When I had
windows 3.0 version the  windows terminal was working
fine. I also changed the modem (got it from a friend of mine)
and still the old procomm software is working fine
but I can do nothing with windows terminal.
I also got procomm plus for windows and it also does not
operate with the modem. Furthermore as soon as I go into
procomm plus the icon for the telephone indicates than
the receiver is off hook but nothing happens. No dialing
occurs. The screen also doesn't reflect what I type on
the keyboard, the only thing I see is an "A"!
It is really frustrating, and I would really appreciate
if someone could give me an advice (since neither
IBM who makes the computer nor MICROSOFT who wrote
the software are capable to  help)
Thanks,
E. Neoptolemou
