subject: data overrun?

BL> I had ***BOTH*** my port and Modem set at 2400. How else do you
 BL> want me to do it? 

 PE> The other way to do it is to keep the port speed at 19200 or
 PE> whatever you normally use, and send a string to your modem to
 PE> force the connect rate to 2400. 

  &N2 does that and I put it in the default init. And then I set the
PORT to 2400 too.

 BL> I expect that my modem keeps sending CTS/RTS because I am
 BL> overdriving ***YOUR*** modem (where all the trouble is).

 PE> The main problem I am experiencing is sending stuff to others
 PE> at low speeds. I actually suspect a timeout problem in binkley
 PE> at this stage. 

  Yes... I suggested a timeout in the comms program initially.

 BL> Get it in your head, Paul: there is nothing wrong at *my* end.
 BL> We are trying to solve a problem at *YOUR* end.

 PE> This is news to me? I've just had a thought, maybe I can set
 PE> the port speed to 38400 instead of 57600 to fix it.

  God knows why...

 PE> Then there's you, who's too cantankerous to stick with a test.

  I'm happy to do whatever you ask, as long as you don't try to fix
faults in my Sportster that don't exist.

  You asked me to use 2400 *with* EC and I did... so you tell me I
DIDN'T and then accuse me of being cantankerpous. It's your dopey
fucking modem not able to recognise my MNP request! It works okay
with the PCUG.

  But if you want me to try some other dopey idea I'll do it. I'll
even tolerate you telling me I'm doing it wrong. But...

 BL> Get it in your head, Paul: there is nothing wrong at *my* end.
 BL> We are trying to solve a problem at *YOUR* end.

Bob
