Subject: MDM7 vs MEX

David, I'm sorry you have't tried MEX114 yet and feel it's too complex
compared to MDM7.  It has an identical user-interface to MDM7xx with
command extensions that you can OPTIONALLY use (you could continue to
use the commands you already know until you learn more about it).
Wouldn't you find it much easier, for instance, to tell MEX something
like GET TOADBIOS.ASM and have it automatically send out the command
to your host to start the transfer and then additionally tell itself
to R TOADBIOS.ASM?  This is easy to do with MEX's READ files!  I have
another that I use with RCPM transfers that lets me say:

GETL SAP44 SAP44.COM    which automatically sends out to the other end:

XMODEM L SAP44 SAP44.COM  to extract that file from SAP44.LBR

and then it tells MEX:

R SAP44.COM

It lets me automatically dial a list of phone numbers, dynamically
load key strings, phone numbers (with optional baud rate specification
as a part of the phone number list), send out complex automatic
logins, do BYE at the end of a session, etc.

It's like having SUBMIT inside MDM7!
