 NC>  I'm using Procomm Plus version 1B with the Verbal Operating System from 
 NC>  Computer Conversations with an internal Votalker board on a Leading 
 NC>  Edge Model D running DOS 3.10.  Here's the problem:  I've set Procomm 
 NC>  plus up so that the snow removal is on.  That means it's running fine 
 NC>  except that when I try to upload or download files, the information 
 NC>  regarding the upload isn't spoken.  Is it because VOS isn't cutting it? 

No, because snow removal does not make it write through the bios.
It does make it talk better than no snow removal.  In order to get
what you want, with vos, you would have to have it write to the
bios.  If you have a screen reader  that will monitor a line then
you could make it talk to you.  Now, why would you want to hear the
block and error count?  This would slow down your file transfer,
and of course on long distance that would be more costly.

One more thing you can do, however, is to find out what line this
information is coming on, and stay in review  mode, and
occasionally read that line, and find out, but again this will slow
down the file transfer, but not as bad as constantly getting the
information.
