Verson 2.02 was and is very stable, however Ver 3.01 is just as stable and has inprovements and extras you can't have with v2.02. The abality to use programs written in mex programing language alone is worth the change. If you want, write your own. Maxkit25.arj is a good guide to use to write your own or use it as it is.

It even seems to effect QWK packets downloaded with Zmodem. Seems it doesn't want to do much more than a 14.4k connect rate. I've tried several things but can't get anything to work. At least I know I'm not alone now and will watch for responses. Good luck Ed --- GoldED/386 3.00.Alpha5+ * Origin: Fast Eddie's BBS - Regina, Sk.

Okay, but, if I lock the port with the fossil (SIO) at 38400 because that's the highest I can use with my ISP for some reason, it wouldn't make a difference if I lock the mailer (Bink/2) or Maximus at a higher rate, would it?
