- OS/2 won't have any problems - especially if you use an OS/2 comms program
- like TE/2. But Telix or something like it should be fine.
-
- It is much more likely that your machine itself will object to 57,600.....if
- you are using an exteranl modem, you will want a 16550 UART (I think they are
- called PC16550 these days.....).
-
- Add:
-
- call=c:\os2\mode.com com?:57600,n,8,1,rts=HS,buffer=auto
-
- to the end of your config.sys. Also be aware that OS/2 does not allow
- interrupt sharing. No two ports can have the same IRQ whether they are active
- or not.
-
- If you are using COM3 or COM4, add (3,aaa,i) to the com.sys driver statement
- in the config. (a = address and i = IRQ).
-
- like this: device=c:\os2\com.sys (3,aaa,i) (4,aaa,i)
-
- COM ports should also be consecutive: 1,2,3 is ok. 1,2,4 is not.
-
- That's about it.
-
- I use a Supra V32bis modem and it works just fine.
