Yesterday we determined that kermit for DOS won't print with the Y command 
if kermit is in d:\kermit though it will work in c:\kermit (on analogy 
with c:\baslin before Steven kindly extended the possibilities).

I am using d:\baslin.

Today, since people report that microcm and file download work for them, I 
tried a couple of unlikely tests:

1.  I dialed our other local bbs (mnet) with microcom.  It is sharing a 
location and you need to log in twice, one as mnet (enter instead of 
password) and then your own login and password.  It worked perfectly.  It 
still won't work at my bbs, grex.  I have no idea why but I will ask our 
other members.  Something is immediately entering some string right after 
it asks for password, which it interprets as Incorrect password.

2.  Then I set up eznet.conf with a second set of data for my old ISP (I
sold the remainder of my year's account to a friend but borrowed a few
minutes of it).  I dialed eznet up 1 (copied over all the lines starting
in 0 and changed the 0 to 1, then changed all the phone numbers etc.  I
need to have the speed line duplicated even tho no change in it).  wget
downloaded 100% of my test file.  I tried again with eznet up 0 for the
old ISP (via the university) and it got to 44544 out of 61K, 72%, and
stalled, just like many times before over the past few days.

I had no such problems with kermit (on BL2, don't have it working here 
yet) or when downloading files with BL2.  Why?  

This is why programs need to be widely beta tested.
