subject: Modem Speed?

Hi Peter,

PC>you don't run a multitasker (win/Desqview/OS2 etc)
PH> Get off the grass!
PH>With a 8250 or 16450 UART he'd be lucky to properly support a V32 modem,
PH>let alone V34 or V34+ modem!

running under DOS 6.1, DV 2.42, 1 node 12k, 1 node 14.4k using 16450
UART chips, good transfer rates on both modems (on a 386dx40 with 4
meg of ram) very few, if any errors on uploads or downloads.
you wanna have a rethink now :)

 cya later,

 Paul.

... Sad fact about Windows bashing is it's all true.
