 AS> Hello All,

 AS> I have a question which is strictly speaking not entirely a modem
 AS> problem, but I am hoping that the modem echo can help me.

 AS> I have a Spirit SMI 14400 modem which I use quite successfully with
 AS> Win95 to access the Internet using Dial-Up-Networking, access BBSs with
 AS> an assortment of Win3.1/Win95 software but........

Please tell me how to go about this, as I have a friend who has one which he
can't get to work under Windoze 95. If we can get it to work, then he may
get it repaired so that it works, (if you know what I mean, do you?) :-)

 :-)

 AS> I have an intermittent problem where the modem connects but I get a
 AS> blank screen.This is most noticeable with Hyperterminal both in its
 AS> bare bones state and the Hilgraeve update.

Please tell me more about the Hilgraeve update, please.

 AS> I have an S3Trio 32/64 PCI video card which some people have
 AS> suggested is my problem, but the problem seems to be software dependant
 AS> (?)

It IS software dependent! Try to update your video drivers.

 AS> What I would like is an easy answer to this problem, I quite liked
 AS> the updated version of Hyperterminal and would like to use it.

 AS> Any ideas?

Hit head on keyboard, to jiggle UART. Seriously! Just press ESC or RETURN a
couple of times, to try to jog the BBS or your UART. Sometimes, on Windoze
systems, single characters can get left behind due to a defective
implementation in the serial driver.

Regards,
Peter.
