- Hello all
-
- I have a question which is crucial to my reputation as the computer
- specialist in this household...
-
- I have an AT&T DataPort Express 14.4 external modem which I'm using to
- access the Internet with. The problem is, I get the message
- comm error [overrun] once in a while. My friends (all self-proclaimed
- internet know-it-alls) insist that it's because of my comm port which
- at that time only had a 8250 UART chip. Well, I've since upgraded the
- whole motherboard and have a 16650 UART chip now, but the problem
- still persists!!! Is it my modem's factory default configuration? Or
- is it my modem itself? What actually is 'comm error [overrun]'? How
- much does it affect the performance of my internet communications? Can
- any of you modem gurus please help me???
-
-
- Thanx in anticipation

- Hi Lisa
- Try these settirngs in System.ini - use SysEdit to edit the system.ini.
-
- [386Enh] - put it under this section.
- COM2FIFO=1
- COM2buffer=512
-
- If your comm port is comm2, if it is comm1 then change it to
- COM1FIFO=1
- COM1buffer=512
-
- That will cure your overflow problem - the first line enabels the FIFO-buffer
- and the
- second one gives you a buffer in RAM, you can set it to other value for ex.
- 1024.
