I just received version 2.2 of Proterm from Insync Software last week.
I have run across a few apparent bugs in the program and I was wanting
to confirm them with others on the net.

1. ^Z doesn't work in the editor. The program displays "Text was not found.
   Press [RET]" at the bottom of the screen.

2. Open apple-C won't turn off the copy buffer after a write to disk
   in the middle of a long ASCII capture.

3. The Kermit protocol doesn't work at all. When trying to receive, I
   get "Data Timeout" errors and have to abort the transfer. When trying to
   send, I get "Block Timeout" and "Ack Failure" until it reaches the
   maximum number of consecutive errors and aborts the transfer.

Of these apparent bugs, the last one is the most critical. I do all of
my programming assignments at home and transfer them to the school
system to compile and execute them so I absolutely must have Kermit.

I called Insync last Friday to see what the problem was, but the tech
support guy who talked to me wasn't the "technical technical person" and
told me he would pass the word on to the appropriate person and let him
get back to me. Well, it's Tuesday and I haven't heard from this guy yet.
Not only was the guy I talked to no help, but he said they had had no
complaints about the new software. Of course, I find that hard to believe.

Any help or confirmation of these apparent bugs will be greatly appreciated.
