- go to control panel and look for your modem, hunt around, your looking
- for the fifo settings, make sure you have a 16550 uart and that the
- fifos are enabled if they are you might want to set the trigger level
- down a bit to give the cpu more time to respond to the interrupt.
-
- make sure your not running any obsolete drivers like for the mouse,
- video card, or 3.1 versions of afterdark or whatever as i think they
- all can give you crc errors.
