Try procomm (PCPLUS) and Telix.  They run fine in the Box.  But keep in mind 
that they will take all the CPU time away servicing Dos Com ports interupts 
even under the current 2.0 Beta OS/2.  I do not advise anyone to use a Dos 
box comm program when anything else is running (either in another OS/2 box, 
or, in the case of 2.0, in another Dos or OS/2 box)!  Solution - None that I'
m aware of other than switching over to OS/2 com programs.  Once you do, you'
ll be glad you did.  Te/2 is a real nice drop in and replace procomm or 
telix with Zmodem support.  Maxi is a great OS/2 BBS.  Swing over to OS2BBS 
for more details.
