Phil, I've noticed that when I shut down Crosstalk for Windows, it tells me that I am still connected to a computer and asks if I want to hang-up or not or cancel and stay in XTALK. I assume that qmodem does not give you this option. I have never tried to see if I could start another terminal program though. I guess that's just one more experiment to try. If I get around to it, I'll try to remember to let the net know how it went. -- Marshall L.
