Well, it's a USRobotics Sportster Voice 33.6 Faxmodem. As mentioned formerly on/at this forum, I can't reach a higher transfer rate than 19.200 bps with M$DOS 6.22 + this modem + the ancient German dos mailer UKA_PPP. This is absolutely insufficient, I mean. When configuring its WATTCP.CFG with higher rates, the following screen output will occur: *--------- at&FL2M2 OK t-online atdt0191011 CONNECT 31200/ARQ pktdrvr.bat ppp 2F8 3 115200 60 t-online Resident size: 87632 coreleft: 2560 COM1 2F8 3: [NS16550A] [rlsd line control] 115200 bps MC: int 0 DTR On RTS On CTS On DSR On RI Off CD On RX: int 0 chars 0 hw over 0 hw hi 0 fifo TO 0 sw over 0 sw hi 0 TX: int 0 chars 0 THRE TO 0 main: connect ppp0 <--> COM1. sifdown: IP interface inactive. main: COM1, carrier lost. Connection terminated. PPP link is down, driver not installed. *--------- The consequence of "main: COM1, carrier lost." is, that the traffic then will be interrupted, and out of the modem's speaker a constant beep can be heared for some time. As mentioned in the forum before, I was bothering about this "COM1" on the screen, despite the fact, really my modem is on com2, see 2F8 above. Leonard Erickson then wanted to help me by mailing X00 as an attachment to me. Since my speech output (I am blind) is on com1, I get problems with it when installing x00 with a general syntax like "LH X00 1". An example for Desqview in the manual says "X00 0=COM1". So I tend to using "X00 1=COM2". But then, I additionally must declare the transfer rate as - for instance - 115200 bps or less, but surely more than 19200! So, how should my complete command line look alike for - X00 active on com2 only? - higher transfer rate than the max 19200 bps under m$dos?
