- Can't you post anything without trying to insult someone. Yes I am running
- Win-95 and don't have Com overruns while multitasking. I DO have to Com
- port DTE set to 230000 but I'm sure the modem setting of 115200 will
- dominate. In other words, it won't actually let you set the com port
- higher than that. I started this thread as a question. If you had read the
- thread from start to where you started insulting me. Maybe you would not
- be so arrogant with your assumtions. You also might try Win-95 before you
- prejudge. Alot more people are using it than you might realize.
