In my job, we provide a dial-in query service to our database.  The 
capability exists for our users to dial-in using most types of terminals
& personal computers.

However, I have come across an Apple user that is experiencing difficulty
& hope that someone on "info-apple" can help!!!  Incidentially, this
is the only Apple user utilizing our system that I am aware of.

The machine that is being used is an Apple 2e with the enhancement and
a Cermatek Apple Mate 1200 baud (internal - Hayes compatible) modem
with Modem MGR software package.  The Apple has 128K and is using an 
Apple 80-column card.

For responses to our query system, we send out 96-character records. 
The first 80 characters are normal ASCII text ending usually ending 
with carriage returns & one line-feed.  The remaining 16 characters are
sync characters which are placed there to accomodate older teletype 
style terminals. The Apple creates a problem when displaying our responses.
Data is missing from the tail end of various lines.  The data does not 
always truncate at the same column.

I suspected that the problem might be within the 80-column board &
had the user take it out.  The same problem still occurred.

If you can shed any light on this problem, please send email to
hmensch at amc-hq.
