Before using this; however, besure that you have installed the new sio drivers which support flow control. I understand that you are using the Digiboard comm board. This, I am afraid maybe one of your problems. On my system, I use a "standard" comm port and an Arnet board configured as comm2. With this combination, I get extremely reliable connections both incoming and outgoing. To make things even simpler, I use dialTBIT as my dialer and call out using uucp spoofing. I hope that this helps.
