I have a couple questions for all you netters out there using PCP for
Windows...
(1) For some reason, PCP for Windows seems to be losing a character every
now and then.  It just doesn't read it or something.  I had been using
ProcommPlus for DOS, and I've never experienced this.  I've also tried
running the DOS version from a box in Windows and it still has no problems.
This may seem like a really minor bug, but it could get in the way when I'm
doing file transfers, and it's really annoying when the character it loses
is part of a terminal escape sequence or something.  Really screws up the
screen bad.  Has anyone else had this experience?

(2) Here's an easy one...I want to increase the scrollback buffer size.  I
have gone through the Window-Setup-Terminal(Advanced) diaglog box and set
the number of pageto be 50.  It informs me that this requires 473K of
memory.  (I'm using the VT220 emulation.)  This should be no problem (I
think).  But I'm still getting noticably less than 50 pages...or even 20
pages worth of scrollback.  What am I doing wrong?  (I've RTFM but it just
tels me to change the number of pages and all will be well...not.)

Finally, here's a modem question...this probably isn't the right place, but
if someone could point me to the right newsgroup, I'd me most appreciative.

(3) Every time I remotely log in to my school's computer, *neither* version
of PCP realizes that the modem is online.  This is a problem when I need to
do an emergency hangup or something.  PCP won't send the hangup string to
the modem if it doesn't realize it's online.  Curiously, I can manually type
"~~~+++" and get to the command mode for the modem and tell it to hangup...
But I don't think this should be necessary.

Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give me.
