Hi,
I have setup the following scenario:
Win 98 PC running K95 1.1.20 connected to DOS PC running msk3.14 via 3 wire
serial cable. K95 is initiated from a batch file COMMS.BAT, which amongst other
things contains the line:
K95 commandfile
commandfile contains various paramaters such as
set port 1
set speed 57600
get file1
send file2
bye
Comms works fine when DOS PC in in server mode.
When Comms is interrupted with Ctrl-C, very odd things happen to the PC. About a
minute after pressing Ctrl-C (which interrupts the comms correctly), the PC
blue-screens with VxD errors. Or it reboots itself. Or locks up. Never
immediately, but consistently crashes one way or another.
If Comms is allowed to finished correctly, the PC is rock solid. In day to day
use the PC crashes no more than normal for a Win 98 box. The problem is
definitely after interrupting K95 with Ctrl-C.
I'm continuing my investigations, as I *think* this only happens when K95 is run
with the commandfile. As a workaround so far I have
set transfer interrupt off which disables Ctrl-C.
Any ideas why it's crashing the PC?
