- I have had chronic difficulty running communications terminal programs
- under my newly installed AmigaDOS 2.1 on an A2500/030. I have tried
- everything from replacing the devs:, libs: and l: directories from
- 2.04 to see if somewhere in the path there is a conflicting software
- bug. I have been able to run communications programs from a bootable
- 2.04 floppy with a modem0.device driver copied to devs: for my 2400
- SupraModem. The nature of my problem is that I can get the program to
- boot (say a generic vt100, or BaudBandit) and dialup and logon to a
- system for about a minute or so before the character flow completely
- stops to the screen and the program locks up. I remain connected but
- cannot execute any further commands to the program. I end up having
- to reboot to disconnect or sometimes the program will crash the system
- entirely although not always. Anyone else experience similar
- difficulties and/or bugs with 2.1 and terminal programs?
-
- Please post and/or send email.
-
- Thanks.
