- Well I need help. I've been trying to get communications programs to
- run under OS/2 2.0. The program that comes with OS/2 works and pmfterm
- works. My dos and Windows programs work, but te2, pmkermit, pmqvt do not
- work. They don't allow me to even send commands to the modem. My cs and
- mr lights are usually off when running the programs that don't work.
-
- What I've tried:
- I've used the mode command to turn them on and then I can send commands
- and dial but can not connect. I've also put these programs after the iopl
- in config.sys. I was reading some news here that talked about the file
- sasyncda.sys that OS/2 programs use. I don't have this file and could not
- find it on the OS/2 disks. I also tried to use selective install to install
- serial support but this didn't do any good but lock my system up till I
- rebooted. I've also tried the supposedly new commga drivers, but this did
- not fix anything and seemed to cause some problems so dinstalled them. I
- also tried the new kernal but got rid of it too. I'm using a stock
- installation of OS/2 right now with it's screen drivers for 640x480 16.
- When I installed OS/2 last I installed every thing but the terminal program
- and CDROM support.
-
- I can get by with using pmfterm or my dos and windows programs, but it bothers
- me that the others do not work. I'd like to get pmqvt or te2 to work so
- I can try out their zmodem transfers, so any help would be greatly
- appreciated. Below is my hardware configuration:
-
- 386sx 16 mhz - AMI bios - 4 meg of ram - WD IDE hard drive controller with
- floppy, 2 serial, 1 par, and 1 game port, WD 120 meg drive,
- Trident 8900C VGA - 1 meg brd, Microtek scanner card.
-
- Com1 is hooked to a US Robotics Courier HST Dual Standard, also tested was
- a Viva 2442ef 2400 baud modem.
- Com2 is used for a Beetle Mouse.
-
- That should cover it I hope, Thanks for any hints.
