Hello,

I am using warp connect (fullpack), tcpip 3.0, USR Sportster 28.8 internal modem, 
and the sio 1.53 com driver.  I am not connected to a lan, and only use warp for 
accessing a ppp dynamically assigned ip internet account.

I get the [COMW] error, whenever I try to upload data and then my connection 
hangs.  I have no problems with any other internet apps, only when uploading 
using ftp.  I haven't applied any fixpacks that have been released.  I have tried 
replacing the com.sys driver that comes with connect with a com driver 
(Comfix.zip) that is on hobbes in the OS2/patches directory.  I have disabled all 
compression, and error checking on my modem.  I have lowered the baud of my 
modem from 115200 to 57600 and then to 38400.

I have run a command file that changes the mtu from 1500 (the value in the dialer)
to 1450 before uploading (as recommended by a post in comp.os.os2.networking
tcpip):

	ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1450

Everything I have tried doesn't fix the [COMW] errors.  I have spoken to my ISP 
about the problem, and they claim that the AT&F1 init string that I use with the
dialer is fine (My ISP uses USR Couriers).  They blame the problem on OS/2.

I have spoken with USR, and the claim my modem is fine, and that it must be OS/2
that is causing the problems.  I can upload to my shell acount without any problems
using halite.

I really am inpressed with warp's robustness,  and I think it is a truly mature OS, 
as compared to win95, but if I can't have stabilty in my internet connection, then
I have no choice but to try win95.  I hope someone has anything that may help
me get OS/2 working correctly.
