subject: LapLink in VDM problem

Greetings Phil,
PC>You can either migrate the Laplink as an object or make up a
PC>special DOS window for Laplink.
     I have an object for a batch file to run LapLink which contains the
following to set the comm port:
MODE COM2 IDSR=OFF ODSR=OFF OCTS=OFF
PC>These Notebook Setting might be helpful:
PC>COM_DIRECT_ACCESS=ON
PC>COM_HOLD=ON
PC>COM_SELECT=COM2
PC>HW_ROM_TO_RAM=ON
PC>HW_TIMER=ON
PC>IDLE_SENSITIVIY=38 TO 100 (Try at 100 first)
PC>INT_DURING_IO=OFF
PC>VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION=ON
     Thanks for those settings, currently I'm using the following:
COM_DIRECT_ACCESS=On
DOS_DPMI_API=Enabled
DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT=10
DOS_UMB=Off
PC>If the above doesn't help, try something extra like
PC>DOS_DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\COMDD.SYS
     OK....
PC>These might work provided that your serial cable is OK.
     I'm using a LapLink cable which is essentially a null modem cable.
The cable and sofware work fine when I run DOS 6.22 rather than OS/2.
When I try running LL in an OS/2-VDM the directory from the OS/2 machine
appears on the UltraLite's screen, however the remote directory will not
appear on the OS/2 machine, rather it gives an error reading remote
directory message.
                                                    Thanks,
                                                     Greg
