I've been running Max 3.01/Squish/386 1.11 under WfWg 3.11 for quite some 
time now.  I don't know what the CHCOMB driver is but CyberCom works fine 
here.  I've been using ADF (loaded in the mailer/BBS window) and both modem 
ports are locked at 115200.  I run InterMail 2.29k as the mailer.  Other than 
that, our systems seem to be similar.  If you'd like to try the CyberCom 
driver:
 CYBERCOM.ZIP 150K 07-05-94  CyberCom v1.14 - High Speed Communications 
river
                             for Windows 3.1 using the 16550 serial port chip

Nope, not here.  I tried BNU some time ago and its performance left a great 
deal to be desired (X00 was worse, though). ;)  With the CyberCom/ADF combo 
there are no CRC errors and no other related problems-- even with both ports 
active and doing file transfers.  Your mileage may vary. ;)
