subject: Help/Modem Troubles.

I have a problem with downloads. At times I can dl with no problems, 
at other times I get thirty,fourty,fifty or more errors and get knocked
off the bbs I'm on. This is the same problem on my Boca 33.6 as I had 
on my old Intel 14.4 (both fax modems). I use Zmodem Resume on a 386 w/
4megs of memory and Qmodem in Dos and Windows. When I run Modem Doctor 
for Windows, the carrier test comes back with 33 receive errors and tells
me that my DTE is not locked and to see my modems docs for help...but 
the docs say nothing about locking my DTE. AS a matter of fact I never
heard of "locking" my computer to my modem. I thought the UART was suposed 
to take care of all that.The modem (Boca 33.6) is a new internal and has 
the newer UART, my serial ports are set to Com1 Irq4, Com2 Irq3. Com2 is 
where the modem is. The string I am using is AT&FE1Q0X1V1S7=60 and I have  
used so many init string combinations it's not funny. I have had the modem
installed on several different bus slots, and have isolated drivers and 
nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
