- Hi there!!
- Pulled a good one. Was checking what I could do to improve
- my modem speed on the net using
- 1. Books in my library, programming/ DOS/ etc
- 2. Some college books: on modems
- 3. Looked at some info on the net
-
- Somewhere I read that I could force the modem to use the
- 16550AF chip by doing ....Whatever. It was over 3 weeks
- ago and I can't remember what I did(amongst the many).
-
- It was either:
- 1. A modem command
- 2. A Mode command
- 3. Gulp: A debug script
- I did some of each anyway.
-
- The result is that now my modem works at an incredibly slow pace.
- 100 baud or so if it works at all, and it times out of course.
-
- Before my action MSD showed that both COM1 and COM2 used the default
- 8250 chip under UART chip used. Now COM2 shows 16550AF. How do I
- set this back? How did I do it? I looked through about a dozen books
- I had around, downloaded some faqs, looked throught the modem
- documentation(skimpy), and have called a couple of computer shops, and
- asked a few computer techs to no avail.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- Direct answers to drb@connect.ab.ca since my modem is down.
-
- Thank you!!!!!!!!!
