Yes; it was ProComm.  Early DOS version worked fine.  I'm
relieved to hear you describe the later windows version's awful complexity --
relieved because I'd thought the problem lay in the dummy using it. 
Transmission errors also plagued the program.  I was pleased to quit using
it.

Probably not ProComm either.  Originally
 strictly a
DOS program for BBS use, the first Win version, for
16-bit
 Win, (2.0 ?) was actually pretty decent.  Then,
over the next two
 versions it became hideously
complex.  To the point of
 unuseability.
