Flow contro RC-> applied between the modem and the PC - what the remote end does is it's -> business and doesn't matter. Ok, I never thought of that, so it prompted me to get the manual out once again for the remote machine's modem. I found this little section that I must have overlooked before. It states this modem is capable of data communications at rates of: 300,1200,2400,4800,9600,14400,19200,28800,38400,57600 and 115200 bps and to make sure the com port baud rate settings are set to one of those speeds. Now the communications software is a mailer, FrontDoor, and there are errorlevels set up for 31200 and 33600, would this cause a problem?? I usually get connects at 31200 but sometimes 33600. The 31200 connect is usually pretty zippy but the 33600 is "usually" slightly choppy. There are rare occasions it connects at 28800 but when that happens, I get ascii screens and some garbage. The com port is locked at 38400 using a fossil driver. Since the com port is locked does the fallback connect rates really matter or would it be giving me my problem with slow uploads? It seems like every time I try to figure out why a connect rate is the way it is, or to try to solve a problem a user of the bbs is having with connecting I confuse myself so much that I end up not knowing which way is up. RC-> That's characteristic of a flow control problem. If your modem is externa -> there's one area you may have overlooked: hardware flow control is -> implemented -> through hardware - specifically, two wires between the modem and the PC po If I can get it to work for me, it will solve any problems that anybody else might be having also. The ONLY problem that I or anybody else is having is when there is a file transfer TO the system but the transfers FROM the system work very well and stable. Both modems in this case are internal, both modems are made by the same manufacturer and both are US Robotics clones. The modem on the bbs has fax and voice capability and the other machine only has fax capability but both are supposed to be 33.6 modems. It seems odd to me though that the one with voice capability's default configuration is called using AT&F0 and the modem with only fax is called with AT&F1 to enable hardware flow control. They are both plug and play but only the fax modem is being used on a machine with Win95 and the voice modem is being used on a DOS machine with no multitasking at all. Anyway...I am going to fiddle with the voice capable modem again since I feel fairly confident that the fax only modem on the Win95 machine should be set correctly.
