No help but the same problem with a different program.  I still use YTERM, an
emulation program from Yale, to connect to a host computer running VM/CMS.  It
has a modest script language that allows embedding a logon procedure (starting
with loading the emulator, dialing the number, etc.) in a BAT file.  I have
almost no luck running the BAT file in enhanced mode.  Works fine in standard
mode but the script part that carries out the interaction with the modem and
the connecting data switch invariably gets interrupted and fails.  I can then
continue the logon process manually and have no further trouble either with the
rest of the procedure or with the CMS session once I get connected.

It appears that Windows preemptively interrupts the admittedly non-robust
script program.  Haven't tried changing all the possible parameters but the
XON/XOFF doesn't help.  I'll still do a bit more checking but will appreciate
any other insights.
