While listening to Sam Benson Pete heard:Synchro Errors and Speed

G'day Sam

 SB> I'm have problems with my Netcomm M34F. It is a 28.8 kbps modem.

 SB> I am experiencing a large number of synchronisation errors and
 SB> CRC errors in downloading files from BBS. I'm getting about 30+
 SB> for a 1MB file download. I don't get any errors uploading files.
 SB> I been having theses problems for a while.

Sounds like lack of a 16550 UART problem.

 SB> Are these errors a product of line noise or it is something I
 SB> can play with with my modem settings (sorry I don't have them to
 SB> hand) to improve (reduce) the number of errors I'm getting.

I'll take a guess and say your running your comms program under a
multitasker (Win95/31x, OS/2, DV etc) and you only have 16450 or 8250
UART's fitted to your computer, just to test try running a plain DOS
comms program (Telix DOS etc) under straight DOS and see if the
problem still exists, if not get your serial card replaced with one
with 16550 UART's on it.
