- I'm having trouble doing serial communication in OS/2 2.0. I've tried
- TE2 and PMCOMM with similar results (that is, very bad ones), so I
- must have a setup problem or some such.
-
-
- Details: Toshiba 3300SL 80386SL/25 with 8meg.

-
- I have the computer running OS/2 connected to a 9600 baud serial line
- (via a null modem cable) on the SUN in my office. DOS communication
- (w/o OS/2) works great, even at 38400 baud. Under the OS/2
- communication programs listed above, all I get is garbage.
- Communication parameters on both ends are 9600,N,8,1. I've tried
- setting IDSR, ODSR, OCTS to OFF as described in the file 'atcom.txt'
- on ftp-os2 but the problem remains unchanged. I've tried doing Zmodem
- transfers using the DOS program DSZ under a DOS session in OS/2 with
- the result being *extremely* slow transfer, w/ CRC errors on virtually
- every packet.
-
- I wasn't running anything else when I tried any of the above programs.
-
-
- I installed the new COM drivers to see if this would help, but the
- problem is unchanged. Ideally I'd like to hop back to 38400, but I
- thought 9600 baud was a good test case.
-
- Has anyone had similar problems? A beer or an iced tea is waiting
- when you visit Columbus. :)
