Subject: More on Printing problem with pine 3.91

I am including a message from one of our pine users about a printing 
problem.  He is not the only one that has been having trouble.  One 
"try" I received from this list awhile back is to set 
"preserve-start-stop-characters".  He tried this and it did not work. 

We are using pine 3.91 on osf/1 V 3.0.  We have no problem printing from pine
3.89 on a DEC Ultrix 4.3A.

 I followed your advise but to no avail. I tried printing  the same 
message, app 4000 byte but only one page printed.
The only difference this time is that the two small smiley faces followed by 
the number six were no longer in the upper left hand corner.

I am using Crosstalk as my communication package, running under windows. 
Both printer settings, in windows and in crosstalk are set properly.
I am set for Zmodem VT100 8N1.

As my computer is a notebook I can stop by next week if you think that 
might make diagnosing the problem any easier.

Thanks for your help.

An idea ---would my modum speed have any effect?
It is a 14.4 with compression softrare that allows it to go up to 56

Sherry,
Can you verify that OSF/1 is configured to enable software flow control 
by default?  If not, setting "preserve-start-stop-characters" won't 
help... (until version 3.92 when Pine will try to tell the OS to honor 
them in any case.)

If my hypothesis (that OSF/1 --at least at your site-- doesn't enable s/w
flow control by default) then I suspect that 3.91 (with "preserve..." set)
would work fine on Ultrix, and 3.89 would fail the same way on OSF.

Let us know what you discover...
