- Unfortunately that was also my problem... I finally figured out that it was
- the SIO drivers causing me to "lose" the connection while doing a new file
- scan under both RoboComm 4.2b and QmodemPro 1.01. The connection remained, but
- no data came to my screen. I could hang up (Alt-H), but had to restart the
- QmodemPro to use the modem again. RoboComm, on the other hand, was able to
- continue without restarting (thankfully).

- Does anyone know how to contact the author to relate these problems? (And
- consistantly get new copies of the program).
