G'day all,

My system: Amiga A3000 '030/25 - CNet Pro v3.05c - TrapDoor

I have a bit of a problem with one of my users.  He has an old 386 with
Windows 3.1 and recently installed an internal 33k6 modem with the following
specs.

Interlan - model No. NI 5210/8-10BT Rev .AB - made in Singapore.

ENET addr: 0207010 8C EEC

ATI3 = V1.450-V34_DP

ATI4 = 288IR For Australia 02/07/96

ATI5 = 022

ATI6 = RC288DPI Rev 05BA

ATI7 = 255

He's using the default com port (1?) and IRQ (3) settings.

The problem is that he keeps pausing for longish amounts of time (data over
run - retrain?) and eventually dropping carrier. I suspect he has the older
xx450 UART.

I went down by train to see if I could sort it out but my lack of familiarity
with the Windows environment and his hardware precluded me from doing more
than modifying his modem startup/user profiles.

There was an improvement in the connect speed to my Maestro 28k8 v.fc but it
still seemed to stack commands/react slowly.  I've suggested that he invest in
a motherboard upgrade. :-)

I got him to print out his autoexec.bat and it's;

C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE

{at}ECHO OFF

rem C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X 1024 128       <- Obviously remed out

PATH C:\WINDOWS;C\;C\DOS;C\UTILS;C\hdm

SET TEMP=C:\DOS\temp

cls

MOUSE

WIN

Any help appreciated as I don't want to make another 80 minute round trip
again.
