KB->     Although most often true, not always true. Take for example these
  ->   system configurations. Although rare there are still some in use 
oday.
  ->   System (1) is a bbs user, system (2) is the bbs being accessed.
 
KB->   (1) -  2mhz CPU, 33.6k modem. Max buss at 19,200
  ->   (2) - 33mhz CPU, 33.6k modem. Max buss at max modem through put.
 
KB->   Modem 1 & 2 can still negotiate a 33.6k link. However cpu #1 can not
  ->   accept data from it's modem at that rate. If modems #1 and #2 are not
  ->   BOTH configured for (Modem-Modem Xon/Xoff) flow control. There is a
  ->   real possibility that buffer overruns WILL occur.
 
Ok, now what if the one machine is a 133mhz and the other is a 100mhz,
both have 33.6 modems and both are confirmed to be configured to use
hardware flow control?
What else would cause it to have problems in only one direction of data
transfer?
 
KB->  RC-> but when sending data you will quickly overflow the modem buffer
  ->  -> if you do not use flow control properly.
 
KB->     This is very true.
 
For clarification is there anything needed to be done other than making
sure both sides of the transfer are configured the same, being hardware
flow control?
 
KB->     In any multi-tasking enviroment you should look to see how much of
  ->   the system resource time you are alocating to each of the com devices.
  ->   Also look to see what it's idle time is set at. The best results can
  ->   be achieved by lowering idle time to it's min limmit, and allowing it
  ->   a large enough amount of the processor time. Thus allows it to process
  ->   incoming data as efficently as possible.
 
Ok but my particular problem is not incoming data, I am only having a
problem with outgoing data and even then it is not consistent but just
most of the time.
