Sorry for quoting the entire message, but every time I try to cut some 
of it and save it, I get errors.  It's probably because I tried deleting 
all of it.  Which you should be able to do anyways!

 
Well, it looks like I found the problem.  Solving it is a different
story.  I took my GS apart and re-installed the Zip in the remote
possibility that I hadn't installed it correctly.  No problems there.
But I was still having the problems in ProTERM.  So I tried dropping the
connect speed to 9600, things got a little better.  So I dropped it to
2400 and it works perfectly.  So now, is there anyone out there using
ProTERM 3.1 and a USR 14.4 Sportster fax modem with a Zip (9/64
preferrably) that can tell me what they're using for an init string?
Let me see if I can get mine.....here it is: ATX4&A0&B1&N0&H1&I0&R2S11=40
Btw, if anyone is using this modem on a GS, this init works perfectly.
 
If you don't have any suggestions, can someone give me Zip's phone number?
 
Rob.

P.S. It also runs stable with no glitches at 4800, which I'm using now.
