I believe the latest version of BobTerm is >1.21. Bye............. Sure Bobterm can do 19.2k transfers, as long as nothing goes to the screen. The only thing on the screen during a file transfer in Bobterm is the status line which only changes a dozen bytes every 1k. Try a 19.2k or even 9600 ASCII capture and I bet it would lose characters reguardless of what display mode it was using (40 or XEP80). Of course, I don't think you would lose that many with Bobterm even at those speeds, since Bobterm is an excellent program. -- Scott Parish a.k.a. | "I don't believe it." -- Luke Skywalker parsons@matt.ksu.ksu.edu | "That is why you fail." -- Yoda, Jedi Master
