Has anyone gotten wincomm to work right? I am having problems using it with a
Telebit T1000. The problems I am having are described below.

1.) There is no modem configuration for Telebits. I try to make my own "custom"
configuration, but the 2400 and higher speeds use two digit result codes, and
the "edit session" mode does not seem to allow entering two digit result codes,
even though some of the other modem configurstions (Hayes 9600) have two digit
codes in them.

2.) I cannot get a modem connection going. I make a session file, open it, then
"start" it. It initializes the modem fine, dials the number, but immediately
upon finishing dialing, wincomm come back saying "no carrier", even though the
modem itself is still making the connection. I have to shut off the modem to
disconnect since wincomm and the modem are out of sync now.

3.) This is minor, but when I say "start" for a session, it always printd
"connected to modem@300" even though I am using 9600 baud.

Wincomm sounds like a good product (idea wise anyway), but it is useless to
me now because I cannot get it to work. Documentation on solving problems is
non-existent, and help is certain areas is very sparse.

I certainly wouldn't pay money for it in its present condition.
