It tooke me several hours (over 10) to figure out what my problem was
with Qmodem for Windows 95.
This is the problem:
The Modem (USR Sportster 28.8k) would dial and attempt to connect but
never showed any connection (characters on my screen).
(everything worked fine w/ old windows (3.1) version type comm programs)
After learning about the Registry in Win 95 and reinstalling my modem 3
times (and win95 communication paks 2 times) it finally came to me...
I turned off the GRAPHICS ACCELERATION setup in win95.
That fixed it....
Incase you have the same problem this is what my system contains:
1 UsRobotics 28.8 Sporster Modem (internal)
1 Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (not the VIDEO board) (VLB version)
and all the rest is standard non-interferring hardware.
Now the question for some of you out there...
Is there a way to fix (maybe exclude some part of memory), so that I can
turn on the VIDEO ACCELARTION setting on win 95 to all the way up, and
not interfere w/ my modem????
I haven't seen much difference in speed yet (graphics wise), but I'll be
testing it next... (I want it all graphics speed as well as fast x-fers)
