 Ro> wow. glad you found it. buuuut... it's not (only?) a dosbox problem,
 Ro> my maximus/2 behaves the same with synchterm... :)

I tested on your board before I had posted and didn't notice trouble after a 
file transfer, but then I didn't test very well!  The symptoms can be a bit 
funny can't they.

I am not sure why Maximus doesn't like to operate within an ASCII telnet 
connection as I would expect the telnet interface (Vmodem or DOSBox-X in our 
cases) to translate anything that needs to be translated.  I wonder if other 
BBS software has the same behaviour.

If there's a way to send a telnet negotiation command through the Vmodem 
connection, you can include after file transfers (or in the top of the file 
menu?) the telnet IAC commands to switch to binary mode and that may solve the 
problem for you.
