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

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. ;)
