export.zip is the origional code, I've not had time yet to play with
it, as it seems to want to be compiled with bcc 3.1 which isn't loaded
on any of my machines at the moment.

That's what I thought :-)

The script seems to object to just the carrier detect,
for some reason the modem isn't returnign ok until it
either receives extra characters or until dte has been
toggled, I begin to suspect that my modem is not very happy.

Good point, as soon as I've got some sort of documentation on what
needs to be changed in autoexec.net to make autoexec.nos I'll put
it somewhere useful.

If you only want the text you could try telling ka9q to log everything
and then telnet to the address of the page you interested in and then
say get /~user/url/stuff.html or some such, f10 and turn loggin off.
Long winded perhaps but workable for the odd page or two.
