Andy -
I should have been clearer about exactly what troubles I
am having with Crosstalk. I can get the modem and the software to
work together, but some of the scripts don't work and Crosstalk
will occasionally lock-up my machine.
For example, when I try to use the Compuserve auto-login
script, I get some bizzare error message about a command which
can only be executed once online. Apparently the script is
trying to issue some Compuserve command before the actual logon
has occurred. I too called the Megahertz BBS and downloaded the
modem list which they have available for Crosstalk. I copied
the updated list to the appropriate Crosstalk directory and set
the software up for my specific modem, but no dice. I'm still
getting errors when trying to use some of the built-in scripts.
And as far as the lock-ups go, I pretty clueless. (Course a lot
of people say that about me anyway!)
Thanks for your input, Andy. Maybe I'll see what the
Crosstalk people have to say next.
Thanks,
