Thanks for the suggestion.  I did everything I could to avoide it but had
to cave in and reformat the hd loosing stuff in the process.  one thing I
lost and can't seem to find anywhere is the latest modems.dat file for
procom plus or pcplus as it is.  I need this file for my modem to opperate
correctly under pcplus.
I could get along with out it but strange things happen when you don't
select the correct modem.  If anyone has it, I'd appreciate haveing it
emailed to me.
Thanks!
or, tell me where to get it besides qdeck.com which doesn't seem to have
it.
