BR>Hi,
BR>I test driving QMPro for Windows, and I've got a major problem that's
BR>got me completely stumped. The program WON'T UPLOAD AT ALL!!!
BR>                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BR>Everything else about the program works as advertised, but every time I
BR>try to upload a file, even a small QWK reply packet, the u/l starts, a
BR>few blocks are transferred, then Craaash!!! The u/l aborts, and I'm back
BR>to the BBS "u/l failed" screen.
BR>This is not a BBS specific problem. I have tried it with 8 different
BR>BBS's, both local and LD, with three different BBS software programs.
BR>Neither is it line noise, because I can d/l without problem, and I've
BR>never been troubled with line noise problems.
I understand your frustration. Sorry for taking so long to respond. It
took me the better part of a year after I bought my first computer before
I could really figure out what was going on, or even understand enough
to ask the right questions. That said, I NOT an expert but I can give a
few suggestions:
1) Make sure your upload protocol is the same as the board's file
transfer protocol. Log on to the board and select Zmodem. Make sure
you're using Zmodem.
2) Go to Control Panel and select Port settings and use the following
settings:
        Baud Rate    19200
        Data Bits    8
        Parity       None
        Stop Bits    1
        Flow Control Hardware
Click on OK before exiting.
3) Edit your System.ini file in the c:\Windows directory under the
[386enh] section as follows:
Make sure the COMxFIFO= line =1. If it says =0 change it to:
COMxFIFO=1. The "x" is your COM port. Mine reads COM1FIFO=1 because my
modem is on COM 1 and I want the 16k buffer mode to be enabled on the
UART chip ( the =1 part).
4) Speaking of: do you have a 16550 UART? If you have an external modem
you should have it plugged in to a high speed serial port in you machine
that has this chip, or a high quality modem (I know Hayes are high
quality) that has one on board. Run MSD in DOS to find out if you have
this chip, or check the modems documentation.
5) Make sure you are using a high speed communications driver. the
driver that comes with Windows 3x is inadequate and does not support
high speed modems. Go to the [Boot] section of the aforementioned
System.ini file and look at the line comm.drv=. If it reads
comm.drv=comm.drv you should replace the comm.drv file with a newer,
high speed driver. They are available as shareware (some are freeware).
WinFax Pro from Delrina automatically replaces the Windows comm.drv
driver with its own high speed driver (wfxcomm.drv). The file comm.drv
is in C:\windows\system directory and is about 10k in size (I think).
Hope this stuff helps. If you still have problems, check back in.
Sincerely, Sean.
