G'day Bill,

JG>> I quickly scanned a message from Paul that mentioned CTS/RTS.
I'll have to

 BG> Shit, I'd assumed already that you'd have hardware flow control

 BG> set, do it now!



Yeah, it was set. AFA I can remember, it's been set that way for years. I
was just a bit worried that with all the screwing around with this problem
I've done lately, I may have changed it.



Bit of a bummer really. It would've been a nice easy fix too :-)



JG>> I'd have to agree with that. Gotta be the way my modem or serial 

JG>> port is setup.



 BG> Yep, it's almost certainly your modem IMO.  I believe that 

 BG> Netcomm also have a setting which is called auto or fail-safe 

 BG> flow control, or something like that, probably &K9 if I recall 

 BG> correctly.  Needless to say, this doesn't work properly, and &K3 

 BG> is absolutely mandatory.



It's been &K3 for years.

JG>> I'm sure I tried that but I'll give it another go and have a

 BG> Do it anyway, like right now!  Exactly as entered above.  Other 

 BG> stuff may screw around with your settings, so having it in BT.CMD 

 BG> makes sure that you automatically set up the comms port each time 

 BG> you start Binkley.



I have tried that in the past, but I'll give it another go just to be
certain. I haven't got time at the moment to muck around with it properly
(parties to attend you understand) but I'll stick it in the .cmd file and
then check out the logs later.
