Yes, there are still a few problems. For me if the port number in the
default.vt file was not correct, it would bomb out with an unrevoverable

I haven't tried background file transfers, will try that soon.

I wouldn't know about wincomm, it failed to work properly with my Telebit

wincomm as too much trouble.
