Subject: Re: modem7

       I have had a problem with Ascom - the 8-bit version (on a Kaypro)
was not able to talk to the 16-bit version (on a DEC Rainbow 100).  
Actually, they could talk in terminal and BLOCK mode, but we really
wanted BLOCKV mode to work so that a whole disk could be sent.  No luck.
Westico and Ascom said they have had "some minor problems" themselves
but that it "should" work.  Right.  Also, the CPMUG protocol does not
completely work with something like modem7 - Ascom never sends the 
"end of transfer" message back, letting modem7 hang until it times out.
Otherwise, a very nice product - I like the human interface.
