   I'm trying to figure out how to get into the command shell when I call up
my own computer (from work) and have it answer in ProComm host mode. I can get
connected just fine. I can download and upload just fine. When I try to do the
(F)iles command, or (S)hell out, it says "Not available."
   Does anyone have experience using ProComm for this? I have the passwords
correct, and it says "accepted" when I type the shell password, but then it
doesn't do anything except say "not available" and return to the host menu.
   I have also tried a program I got from a BBS that is supposed to fix some
problem with host mode, but it doesn't seem to help.
   I would appreciate any advice or experiences (problems or success) anyone
else has had with the ProComm host mode.
   Hmm, maybe it's time to switch to PibTerm (or write my own).
