    The City of Ottawa (GEMS-1-5-10) has reported that
    When downloading to Memory Card the Program Memory Card screen changes the
    status from Modem to Accu-Vote.

    I have tried to duplicate this without
    success using GEMS 1-7-5.

    They also reported when uploading in the Receive Election Results screen
    that the status changes to Accu-Vote from modem after the first
    transmission.

    In fact it does and locks out any further uploads from other Accu-Votes at
    different locations.  It appears that it retains the phone line and allows
    successive Memory Cards to uploaded without having to redial.

    The port must be highlighted, then the Stop key clicked, highlighted again
    then Start to re-activate for the next reception.

    There does not seem to be any process to terminate the mult-card upload and
    reset for the next Accu-Vote.
