- (For those who have not followed me before in my original problem - IT was
- easy, any VoiceOnNet program (Iphone, WebTalk, CuSeeme etc) would ALWAYS end
- up killing the modem - I would or have the connection dropperd (without
- Windows 95 noticing) or more recently had the connection still alive - but the
- PPP connection was dead. Windows 95 was not aware - and clicking DISCONNECT
- would cause the modem to hangup , but win95 would NOT acknowledge the fact
- that it has - It has now been solved by incredibly changing the modem to COM1
- , which is NOT a 16550A - the mouse is now in Com2, where a 16550 is, but now
- the VON products hang up the MOUSE!)
-
-
-
- INCREDIBLE!!
-
- For those who remember my desperate call for HELP with VON (voice) products
- causing the modem /ppp / win95 to drop my connection... IT WAS SOLVED..
-
- BUT I need EXPLANATION here - MUCHO explanation.
-
- I Switched the modem from Com2 (16550A) to Com1 (a classic non-fifoed UART) -
- and guess what - VON PRODUCTS NOW WORK!!!!!
-
- CuSeeme, Webtalk - ALL!
-
- HOWEVER - what I MORE incredible..
-
- now the MOUSE HANGS UP when I use VON products!!!!!
-
- In this exact second the mouse is there - hanged...
- What can this mean? The 1st time it hanged - I went to the settings
- for Com2 , and disable the FIFOs. now with fifos disable , the mouse CRASHED
- anyway!
- Com2 = IRQ 3 right? Nothing is using that..
- I am using a logitech mouse, with drivers Version 7.00 or whatever the version
- is...
-
- I am starting to direct my assumptions on TWO things: The MOUSE /
- Driver and the COM Port.
- I have always had a problem with mouse and modem - only when I use
- LOGITECHS updated drivers..
- When I upgraded to Version 6.6 of the drivers, the modem would not
- respond.
- Now with 7.x.. the VON product problem - and now the Mouse hanging!
-
- Is it the Com? Or could it be Win95 not handling it very well?
- In Dos, I have never had a download/upload , at full speed (3400 cps)
- fail... though I am talking or in DOS, or in a FULL SCREEN DOS WINDOW without
- multitasking.
-
- Would it be wise for me to buy a serial card? I have the serials AND
- the parallel ports ALL SEPARATE. I have one com card, with one 16550 and one
- 16450/8250. - then the Parallel on its own miserable slot. (Because I use the
- promise dc4030Vl2 that's why)
-
- If you can help me out on this = PLEASE do.
-
-
- Update: I now removed all 7.0 drivers for the mouse, Win95 does not even list
- a mouse - but the mouse is working - I still need to test it...
- I have been suggested that the Com2 might be physically damaged or
- something -I would like to add for those who did not follow my thread before -
- that under DOS , uploads / download could take place at 3400CPS with no
- hangups or anything.. but that's DOS not Win95..
-
- Again - I would also accept any references to a Serial Card I could
- purchase - even I/O where I would disable the IDE - as long as it has
- 16550AFN's...

- Thank you, Eduardo Galvez
