From: Jim Rea To: All Thread: Help (1/16) Date: 16-Jul-97, 6:39pm (Ref# 5515) I'm having problems since I lost everything off my hard drives and had to start from scratch.

Looks like I need to keep ATOTSR.COM in my AUTOEXEC.BAT <G> GW> You had a big drawdown between atotsr.com and the fossil driver, GW> and bgfax lost? :> GW> Let me know if that handles it... Sorry to say, no it still will not work. :-( I was watching the screen when the fax call was made and it exited with the errorlevel then a message scrolled by that said something like "waiting for +FCOM, CONNECT, OK, or ZyXEL, +FHNG/FHS..." and then reports f=ERROR along with alot of other info that scrolls by so fast I can't read it Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

I Use Binkley with a V.E and BGFax seems to work flawlessly, so I think the Sportster probably will too. If this idea doesn't work, maybe someone here is more familiar with IM/BGFax. Good luck..
