And my mouse uses Comm1. When I use Qmodem they interupt saying all comm ports are closed or Comm3 is being used by another device or somthing. This happens when using any Comm program that supports a mouse like Ripterm. Does anyone know what to do. Ill trade this external for an internal 14.4 anytime. --- HyperMail! v1.20 * Origin: Maroon BBS * La Mesa, CA * 619-469-8384 (1:202/1014) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 248 QMODEM USER Ref: CDE00035 Date: 09/05/95 From: FRED HALL Time: 04:33pm \/To: BOB RICHARDS (Read 7 times) Subj: Does Anyone Live In This In a message to Fred Hall, Bob Richards said: FH>In a message to All , Bob Richards said: FH>BR>HELLOOOO, FH>BR>IS THERE ANYONE THERE?

Seems kind of short to me, based on some of the strings I've see Well Bob I was hoping to get the ball rolling and really hoping you had a US Robotics Sportster modem (which is what I use, then I could have given you my init string). Maybe now someone with a Hayes can help with the string...the ATZ does seem like it can indeed be tweaked...take a look at what Telix/Win uses for your modem and enter that into Qmodem...type it in the actual terminal window if you don't want to affect the setting stored in the program. Otherwise there's only a few general things (I assume you're running Win3.1 and not Win95): 1) you should replace the Win3.1 COMM.DRV with something like WFXCOMM.DRV which allows better use of the 16550 UART. 2) make sure you are using HARDWARE flow control, not XON/XOFF. 3) make sure your COM port speed is set to higher than 14.4K Qmodem/Win has served me admirably, although I did modify the "stock" init string for my modem to get a few extra CPS's...hope this gets you on the right track.
