 Yes i have had the same problem. Eight bit quoting was my view of the 
problem. The bbs said it was 8 bit no parity but sent the 8 bit quoting
anyway and procomm wasnt looking for the quote character so it just stuck
it in the file. The bbs was a fido and that was the real root of the problem
they should not have been quoting if they really had an 8 bit path.
