Thanks for all the response to my ProComm Plus query. It seems I had pretty much the same problems as Tom Dempster (see above). I tried running PCPLUS again using the same setting I mentioned only this time I loaded DOS (5.0) off of floppy disk and everything worked just fine. With this in mind I started to play around with my autoxec.bat and config.sys files to see what was the real cause. I've narrowed it down to either 'running smartdrv' or 'loading DOS into high mem'. I'll keeping playing around though. Thanks again.
