Subject: MODEM730 & KAYPRO: can't print to Epson

Help!
  I'm using MODEM730 on a Kaypro 4 (old, purchased Oct. 83) with a 300 baud
modem, and an Epson MX80 printer with GrafTrax running through the serial
port.
  The MODEM730 was derived from M7KP-1.ASM and installed to know about
the Hayes Smartmodem (even though I'm not running from one). I created the
COM file from SIMTEL20's HEX file, and installed by using DDT.
  My host is a VAX 11/780 running 4.2bsd Unix.

********* the problem *********
  When I select ^P to toggle the Epson online, subsequent lines are losing
characters both on the screen and at the printer. It looks like usually the
missing characters are at the left part of the lines.
  When I toggle the printer off, characters stop disappearing.

  What have I done wrong? I also saw this behavior in earlier versions of
MODEM7, so I don't think the problem is a new one.

  Any ideas?   Thanks in advance!
