-= Pete Replied to Andrew Strong about: Modem Troubles =-

G'day Andrew

 AS> The modem is a Creative Labs Modem Blaster 33.6 External on Com1.
 AS> It is setup as a "Creative Labs 28.8-33.6 PnP Modem" under Win 95.

 AS> Max Transmission Speed    115200
 AS> Data                      8
 AS> Parity                    None
 AS> Stop Bits                 1
 AS> Flow Control              Hardware  RTS/CTS
 AS> Error Control             Enabled
 AS> Compress Data             Enabled


 AS> It works flawlessly to connect to my ISP using DUN. Throughput is
 AS> 3000 to 3500 cps on a good night, never drops carrier, solid 33.6
 AS> connect etc. But I am having trouble connecting to local BBSs.

 AS> Connects well and downloads well but uploading files can be very
 AS> difficult. Using Hyperterminal the upload can slow to nothing and
 AS> sometimes freeze, the other side reports CRC errors. Hyperterminal
 AS> reports "Bad Data Packet" and "Retries" can be
20 for a 1meg file.
 AS> At times the Error Correction LED flashes like crazy!!!

This is a TX flow control problem though the settings above state you
have RTS/CTS Flow Control enabled, Is hardware flow control enabled in
Hyperterminal?, Are you using the TAPI interface or going direct to
COM1?
