PROBLEM REPORTS
If you have problems in getting BNU to run on your system,
remember that I cannot solve that problem if you do not take
the time to let me know. If you do decide to pursue any
problem, please give as much detail regarding your system as
possible so that I can more readily evaluate why something
may or may not be occurring. Please keep the information
relevant (ie. I don't need to know your shoe size, but I may
want to know what's in your CONFIG.SYS!).
Some information I'll probably need:
o Machine type/model and class (XT/AT/386 etc.)
o Type of USARTs installed (8250/16450/16550 etc.)
o Communications software you're running
o Contents of your AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS or other
batch files which may be relevant
o Switches used to load BNU.COM
o Whether you've used BNUPORT to change port
assignments
o Brief description of modem if at all unusual ie.
high speed, non-standard or sub-standard<grin>
o Version of MS-DOS in use
o Multitasker in use (if any), including version
o Other TSR's loaded during communications activity
o What other FOSSIL drivers have worked in the past
o An accurate and complete (oh, I wish!) description
of your problem
o Contents of a diagnostics window when the problem
is occurring (if at all possible)
o If you have TurboPower's TSR utilities or Andrew
Wylie's DOSMAP program (or some similar DOS memory
control block mapping utility), then redirect
output of this to a file and include it with your
report. Try to duplicate the exact state of memory
when the problem occurs. Then execute a command,
something like:
"mapmem -v -h >output.mem"
