Hi Ian,

 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.

What's the difference with 1:1 or 2:2 ticks?  Is 1:1 better? Does it
use more memory?

In regards to 16500, yes I do have 16550 UART serial card,
specifically for the BBS. The card is set up correctly and my fossil
driver settings are in my AUTOEXEC.BAT file are....

BNU /P=2 /L1=38400 /L2=38400

Now I have since found this UPLOAD buffering/error problem only
happens if I use one modem to logon to another BBS while my other
modem is online running one node on the BBS.
Result: I get errors when I try to upload to the other BBS.

Also if I logon to my own BBS (all from the one PC) I get many
heaps of errors uploading.

However, if someone else remotely logs on to my BBS, they can upload
fine.

 IS> If the 16550s don't fix it all right up, you might want to try the
 IS> DESQVIEW echo; there used to be plenty of helpful people in there,

 IS> QEMM settings may be relevant.
My BNU fossil is loaded before DV     How do I optimise DV for comms?

Thanks in advance :-)

regards,
STEVE
