What I am looking for is a way for the server PC that is sitting in K95
SERVER mode to not drop the phone line, which is causing a no carrier on the
DOS client, but exit all the way out of K95 when it receives the FIN from
the DOS client. This will allow the server PC to process the file before it
receives (or sends) additional files to the same client on the same
communications session..
