I've got both of these registered as well.  I've never seen any issues at
all for dialup with either one of them.  Actually, I've got BBS systems
running on both on different boxes.  I can tell you that HyperHost works
equally well on either one.  But HyperAcess Pro doesn't work well on the
client end to connect to a HHost for me.  Thus for the box that is to run a
remote site remotely, SIO 1.60 is better for that purpose.

Other than that I've not seen what you describle at all with dial-up ANSI
elements of Bink/Max operations here, nor even with Intermail running on
the same box in a DOS-VDM session as the OS/2 Bink/Max both POTS and Telnet
for more BBS operations on that same box!

Now ..

I'm curious.  Granted I've never seen what you describe.  But somewhere in
the back of my mind, I think I recall that you actually can run SIO 1.60 on
a given port and simultaneously run SIO2K on another port?

If so, that would be a heck of a way to solve the problem, but it might work?

Just a thought.
