Abstract....: The purpose of this document is to provide one method of

regards to achieving the best settings for communications
and operating OS/2.

Caveats
-------
The settings and techniques used in this document do not represent the
ONLY way to do this, and perhaps do not even represent the optimal
configuration, and the information in this document is subject to change,
based upon updated information, error corrections, increased or updated
modem capability, or FD and OS/2 updates.
The settings used are based upon OS/2 2.0 GA Release, and some options
may not be available on your systems yet. Where possible, I have noted
which settings may differ, however it is placed upon the reader to
examine and report the viability of the suggested techniques with regards
to the particular options in use.
For optimal modem settings for CCITT V.32bis modems refer to FDTN-001.
The contributors to this file make no warranties, neither expressed

It is *only* guaranteed to take up disk space :-)
Requirements
------------
o OS/2 2.0 GA release with CSD Service Pak applied (US or UK flavour)
(OS/2 2.1ß Code may also be used with all settings below)
o SIO.SYS and VSIO.SYS from latest version of SIO from Ray Gwinn
(latest version whilst writing this is SIO045.*)
o Optional X00149a and SIO (by Ray Gwinn)
The Service Pak (US or UK flavour) files are essential as they contain
modified drivers especially MODE.COM from August that allows the COM
setting of 38400
Using SIO and X00 as the FOSSIL drivers
---------------------------------------
CONFIG.SYS
Do NOT use COM.SYS and/or VCOM.SYS; instead, place a REM statement in
front of the line that refers to them in CONFIG.SYS.
DEVICE=<path>SIO.SYS
DEVICE=<path>VSIO.SYS
(No Mode statement needed when when using SIO and X00 FOSSIL).
RUNFD.BAT
Add the following for FrontDoor to access the FOSSIL driver
<path>X00.EXE E B,1,38400 T=512 R=2048 F=15
Use F=15 if 16550 Uart being used, otherwise leave it off of the end.
No additional settings are required if you are using SIO and X00.
