Howdy all. Question time.

I recently purchased at Accex 2400 baud modem for the theftful price of $79.
Love them computer fairs. Anyway, I've noticed it seems to have a problem
I've never had with previous modems, although I think it could be a software
problem.

When I dial a BBS, especially from JRComm's menu, it frequently will connect,
and immediately drop the High Speed connection. The light goes off as soon as
the modem connects, and all I get is garbage streaming across my screen.
It hangs up ok, and atz resets the modem.

Also, it has a habit of scrolling incredably slow from the bottom of the
screen. If I clear the scree,. it scrolls nice and fast. Once it hits the
bottom of the screen, it scrolls up so painfully slow you'd think I was at
300 baud, not 2400.

These problems only seem to exist with JRComm. Access 1.4.2 works ok, from
what I've seen. I haven't been able to play around enough to say it never
has these flaws. I'll leave a follow-up if I do have the problem.

Thing is, JRComm has more than a few features I need; Zmodem, good macros,
and other bennies. I'd hate to think it's the software, although we know
JRComm can be flaky. SO, any theories?
