There were a couple of changes to ModemWorks in PL 3.0.  The most common
source of incompatibility seems to be the &WHEN NOT ONLINE GOTO command
being changed to &ON HANGUP GOTO.  Check for this first.  Other changes
included changing &INPUT(n) to &IN#n and &OUTPUT(n) to &PR#n.

If this fails, you can get updated versions of a number of programs from
Pro-Entropy's email server.  Write to server@pro-entropy.cts.com with a
subject of HELP for a list of commands.  Or just try "INDEX proline" to
get a list of the available files.  Then use "SEND <filename>[,...]" to
get the files.
