subject: Modem problem

Hi Dave,

SH> I use to run Ezycom BBS on 1 line on my 486DX33 8 meg RAM.
SH> Now I run EZYCOM BBS (2 nodes) with DESQVIEW - both modems 28800
SH> I previously had no problems with downloading or uploading.
SH> But now since I have 2 modems (com port 1 & 2 with standard IRQ)
SH> there seems to be a problem with uploading to my BBS. Heaps of
SH> errors
SH> with re-tries!!  (The upload protocol has not been changed)
SH> I can actually have both lines active with Users Downloading both
SH> the same time without any problems.

 DH> This is classic.  You need, badly, 16550 buffered UARTs on both com
 DH> ports.

 DH> Granted that you don't already have 16550s, and/or aren't enabling the
 DH> ones you now have, this is open and shut - 16550s fitted should fix
 DH> it.

I have a good quality 16550 separate Serial Card made for V.34
