Hello Rod!

On 13 Apr 94, you said to Geoff Armstrong:

RS>> You want hardware handshaking in the modem and the comms prog.

GA>> I've looked, but there is no setting for handshaking in FrontDoor
GA>> that I can see. Sounds like a likely candidate, though.

RS> You are looking in the wrong place. FroDo uses a fossil for the direct
RS> control of the modem, most people are using either X00 or BNU. Its
RS> there you should be looking for the flow control stuff.

Oh, Ok. Of course! BTW: Since I started using BT, no more errors.

GA>> I will try Binkley again, and see if that does anything for me.

RS> I cant stand it myself, shit house docs and pathetic user interface.
RS> OTOH if you use PPoint to set it up for you, and throw PPoint away,
RS> that is one approach.

That's *Exactly* what I did. Great minds, eh?

RS>> Sounds like just a brain dead modem. Didnt you say you were using
RS>> those Exicom specials ?

GA>> Yes, chunks of shit they are. Are Exicom and NetComm related?

RS> Nope. Forget who did the actual modem design in that case, whether it
RS> was Exicom themselves or if it was rebadged. I do remember the modem
RS> was a bit strange in some ways.

I guess I forgot the :-). I know execom do their own stuff. Crappy as it is.

Sea Ewes are round!
Geoff.
