I'm having a similar problem, though maybe not as severe. First, the configuration: Port: IRQ: Address: UART: Device: COM1 4 3F8 old mouse COM2 3 2F8 NS16550AFN modem1 COM3 2 3E8 old none COM4 5 2E8 NS16550AFN modem2 Now, whenever I run Telix (a DOS modem program) under Windows 3.1, and download a file at *any* speed with modem2, putting Telix in the background causes system slowdowns and infinite errors in transmission. This occurs even when telix is the only application running. I have checked that both Telix and Windows are aware of the serial port configuration, and that Telix has higher timeslice priority than anything else that I'm aware of (150). The problem does not occur on modem1, or when using Microlink (a Windows modem program), or when running Telix in the background with DESQview, even at 14400bps. I can't get Telix to work on COM3 under windows at all. Any ideas? -- Forest Edward Wilkinson forest@soda.berkeley.edu
