Yes, I am still trying to set up my father's PC with Procomm(3.1), and
have pretty well determined that the problem is at his end.  I have 
been "talking" with a friend in San Bernadino, and we have both
successfully played "host," transferring files both ways.

I believe that there might be a problem with the modem on Dad's PC - 
Procomm's host mode requires CD to follow true state, and some modems
apparently come from the factory with a switch set to make CD always 
high (wish I had a switch like that B^).  Well, I DID RTFM, but TFM
only had info on the 1200 baud EXternal version.  It described a DIP
switch with 8 different switches, whereas Dad's modem has a DIP with 
only four switches.  A call to Anchor revealed that those switches are
supposedly only for setting the COMx port.

Does anyone have any info on how to check and/or set the CD on one of 
these suckers?  Does anyone really know what time it is?  Does anyone
really care?
