I am still having problems getting it to work at all with Telebit modems. It
has serious problem with result codes. I have verified (using local mode, and
setting the modem initialization manually and issuing the dial string), that
no funny codes are being sent back by the modem except when then the connection
is made and then I get code 14 which is the normal 9600 connect code. Even
though I have set this up as the result code to expect in wincomm, it always
fails immediately after dialing. Someone sent me some info about disabling all
codes except for 1 which it will issue on any connection, but this doesn't work
either.

As far as I am concerned, this product attempts to do so much for you, that it
is no longer useful. If it doesn't already support a particular modem, you are
possibly SOL.

I have noticed something else, the emulation (VT102) has a problem that erases
characters from the screen when using emacs (UNIX system) and paranthesis
matching mode. This mode moves the cursor to a matching open paran when the
closing one is typed. When this action occurs, wincomm erases the characters
on the screen between the parans.
