I'm using Procomm Plus version 1B with the Verbal Operating System from 
Computer Conversations with an internal Votalker board on a Leading 
Edge Model D running DOS 3.10.  Here's the problem:  I've set Procomm 
plus up so that the snow removal is on.  That means it's running fine 
except that when I try to upload or download files, the information 
regarding the upload isn't spoken.  Is it because VOS isn't cutting it? 
Big possibility.  I'd just like to be able to hear the block and error 
counts again like I did under Procomm 2.4.2.  But I'm not willing to go 
back to version 2.4.2 unless I really have to.  Is there anyone out 
there who has used VOS with Procomm Plus who would be willing to talk me 
through this?  Call me here at ACB by voice at (800) 424-8666 weekday 
afternoons or leave me a message here.  I'd really appreciate any help 
anyone might offer.  I'm tired of the guessing game when it comes to 
uploads and downloads.  It's either time to fix this, change 
communications software or get a different speech software system. 
There has to be someone out there who has faced this.  By the way, I'm 
using a 10-function key keyboard.  I encountered a problem on the 
12-function key keyboard which was fixed with a utility I downloaded 
from Data Storm's BBS which makes an extended keyboard look like a 
regular one to Procomm Plus.  I don't think that utility'll make any 
difference here.  Somebody--Somewhere--please help!
