In no way do I blame Rebel for the dos auto232 player!! All my venom would be spat at this 10 year oldish program!! Rebel has been a great program and continues to get better!! One bug that comes to mind in the old dos 232, no underpromotion. I have seen timeouts on one occasion, one move played and a different one tranmitted. One guy you could ask is Bob Hyatt. if I recal, he mentions the dos232 as a not very good thing? But let me know if I can confuse you any further?? Chris
