Direct modem.

I think the 'File Basket' feature of TeleFinder is great. What I mean by the above is that I go through the BBS latest files and select a whole heap which go in the file basket. I then start downloading them. At some point I disconnect, either because the connection freezes, I lose the connection or because I've run out of time. TeleFinder is still running but I'm no longer online. Immediately I get something like 'Couldn't receive the file, try receiving it again' flashing briefly then an error type 10 - restart. There is a restart button in the error dialogue and that is the only thing that responds (can't force quit TF).
