Has anyone had any experience with sending files using Crosstalk (sorry, I
don't know what version, but I bought it last December)?  I have a Compaq
386 and a Zoom internal 2400 baud modem.  This combination works fine for
capturing data, either plain text or using the xmodem protocol.  However,
when I try to send data, again either plain text (using the SEnd command) or
using the xmodem XX commmand, the system will generally hang somewhere in
the process (forcing a reboot of my PC).

I thought the problem might be with the configuration of the 2400 baud
modems on the host end, until I wrote a test on my PC.  It is a simple byte
pusher that does sense status on the com to keep the input port clear and to
handle ^S/^Q flagging.  My test program has no problem sending files at 2400
baud that seem to choke Crosstalk.  Anyone have any ideas?
