Hi Rick,
Many thanks for your response. It wouldn't be the first time a vendor
has forced you to give something up by paying for an upgrade (to V8.2E
firmware)!
Best,
Carver

Carver,
If I remmber right, James Orleff who wrote the code, made some changes
to it with version 7.0 firmware (which was a major upgrade for
Kantronics for host mode coders) and they released 2.3.
I can tell you for a fact that Hostmaster 2.3 works with the KAM-E and
Kamplus with the 8.x firmware.
Looks like you have two options, upgrade to 2.3 or move to other
software.
As you may know, for DOS their is KA-Gold; for Windows 3.1 XPwin and
KA-Win and for Windows 95/98/NT/2000 Pacterm '98.
