- I own a Supra V.32bis modem that I regularly use with my Mac. In about
- a week I expect I'll need to use it with a PC. I know that I need (and
- have)
- a hardware handshaking modem cable with my Mac. I don't know if the
- requirements are similar for DOS, or how to recognize a DOS hardware
- handshaking cable, assuming they exist and are different from the normal
- 25<->25 pin or 9<->25 pin DOS serial cables.
-
- Secondly, I understand there are some serial chip limitations with DOS
- machines. Should I just set the modem to 'full speed ahead' and let it
- negotiate to acceptable speed, or will I have to restrain the port settings
- to keep from losing bits?
-
- Thanks in advance, and please send me an E-Mail response to
- smwall@pica.army.mil, as my Usenet reading is sporadic at best.
