- System synopsis:
- IBM PS/2 Model 55SX
- DigiBoard MC/8 (non-intelligent serial board w/NS16550AFN UARTs)
- Telebit T2500 (on the DigiBoard)
- Telebit WorldBlazer (on the motherboard)
- SCO Xenix 2.3.4 (w/HDB UUCP)
-
- It seems I'm in a bit of a dilema with my high speed modems. I ran into
- this with the T2500 about a year ago and never really resolved it, now I
- face it with the WorldBlazer.
-
- If I use hardware flow control my high speed connections to other modems
- work great (except my UUCP host.) Don't ask why, but that is the way
- people recommend it. My only problem is that a generic Hayes 2400 modem
- has problems with missing characters. I can watch the WB's CTS light go
- off as if it had stopped sending stuff, but the Hayes somehow looses
- track and gets a messy screen. This is easy to duplicate with a simple
- ps -ef listing.
-
- I've tried both modems on the DigiBoard and the motherboard without
- significant difference. Other than the typical suggestions of "get
- yourself an intelligent serial board" which would break my already poor
- budget, does anyone have any suggestions for helping out my 2400 bps
- users who want to use the WB without destroying the other UUCP
- connections I have which require hardware flow control?
