- Using XENIX.2.3.2
-
- I need to connect to a several manufacturing machines that are all RS232
- capible. The Probelm is that I cant seem to make Hardware handshaking
- work.
-
- I really dont have that much experience with the gettydefs and alll the
- other stuff that seems to be involved.
-
- We are using a Hostess card (4 port) on a 386sx (16 mhz).
-
- I can get some datas out but I always loss some and I'm pretty sure
- that it has something to do wioth the hardware handshaking stuff.
-
- I case you think it might be a cable probelm, everything works fine if I
- boot under DOS and use Procomm, but I really dont like having to do that
- all the time.
