- CyberCom V1.1.0.0P
-
- CYBERCOM.DRV 9264 11-26-93 1:06p
-
- The High Speed Serial Communications Driver for Windows 3.1
- Designed for 386 (and above) systems using the 16550 serial port
- chip. (C) CyberSoft Corp 1993
-
- Requires Windows 3.1, Enhanced Mode, a 16550 UART
-
-
- INTRODUCTION.
- -------------
- CyberCom is a direct replacement for the standard Windows
- Communications Driver (COMM.DRV).
-
- * Transfer at up to 115,200 KB with a 16550 serial port chip
- * Great for V.FAST and Voice modems that require 57,600 Kb
- * More reliable Transfer with less overhead on your system - Better
- background operation.
- * Fewer (if any) over/under runs.
-
-
- HOW DOES IT WORK?
- -----------------
- Don't worry if the following sounds too complicated - just skip over
- it and move on to the Installation...
-
- * CyberCom enables the FIFO buffer on the 16550 to be enabled for both
- receive AND transmit - COMM.DRV only enables the FIFO for receive.
-
- * The 'interrupt trigger level' has been set to 8 for both transmit and
- receive. This gives your applications a lot more time to process
- incoming information. COMM.DRV sets the trigger level to 14 which
- means that your application only has 2 characters in which read from
- the FIFO buffer.
-
- What this means is that your communications applications will get far
- fewer (if any) 'under runs' or 'over runs' when sending or receiving.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
- 1. Copy CYBERCOM.DRV into your Windows\System directory.
-
- Edit the Windows\SYSTEM.INI file and change the following line:
-
- From comm.drv=comm.drv
- To comm.drv=cybercom.drv
-
- 2. If you previously have not taken advantage of the 16550 installed
- in your computer then ensure that the Windows\SYSTEM.INI file has the
- following information:
-
- [386Enh]
- COMnFIFO=1
-
- where n is the number of the COM port.
-
- if your 16550 is installed on, say, COM 1 then
-
- [386Enh]
- COM1FIFO=1
-
- 3. Start or Restart windows.
