Steve McCrystal made noise to Bas Heijermans:

Hi Steve,

 BH> First of all, the Qcom drivers are not stable, I have tried them
 BH> here for several day's non-stop, after a few day's they lose
 BH> connection with the FIFO and you need to reboot to get it working
 BH> again.

 SM> Well, after a half day of fiddling (wasn't worth the
 SM> effort!) I finally got the Quatech drivers installed.  To do
 SM> it I had to remove the twin 16750 card I use and replace it
 SM> with one that had two 16650s on it.  THEN the Quatech
 SM> drivers could find all three ports, and my modem would work
 SM> AT ALL.

I tried them because SIO has problems with my Digiboard and SMP, the best
choice for me is COM.SYS for the 2 normal ports and DGX.SYS for the 16 ports
on the Digiboard.
I had replaced all the 16550's on that board for 16650's and that solved the
problems, nor did SIO or QCOM did.
SIO is fine on normal cards together with SMP but not for special cards.

 SM> I ran it that way for a couple of days.  My connect speeds
 SM> jumped all the way from 45333 to... 45333, just as I
 SM> expected!  OTOH, I didn't have any real problems while
 SM> online. I haven't had any with SIO either, nor do I expect
 SM> any. 

 SM> Then I needed VMODEM, and the Quatech drivers were history
 SM> and the dual 16750 card went back in.

You have made the right move:-)

 BH>  The diverance with connect speeds has to do with your
 BH> ISP-modem, your-modem and the Telco(mpany). SIO, QCOM or any
 BH> other driver have no say in this,

 SM> That's quite true, altho given Kris' level of understanding,
 SM> there is simply no way anyone will convince him.

I gave up:-)
