The problem we have been having so far, is that BNU is great.. Has the nice DV TaskManager, and the flow control works correctly. BUT it will not share IRQ's.. So we change the IRQ you say.. Fin.. Easy.. BUT!! And this is a BIG but.. HOW DO YOU TELL BNU ABOUT THE DIFFERENT IRQ????!?!?!? There is that program BNUPORT.. But No docs.. no help.. and there aint something easly like.. IRQ 5.. Its got some other things, that we still havent worked out.. Now.. X00.. Will share IRQ's fine.. BUT.. He STILL hasent fixed the CTS/RTS flow control.. As on a 19200 locked modem, we cant download Zmodem at 9600/rel.. Cause its overunning the buffer.. So both ways, we hit adversity.. (sob).. Hope someone fixes these problems Soon..... -- +----------------------------------------+ | Anthony Rumble | | INTERNet c9106510@cc.newcastle.edu.au | | SIGNet 28:2200/108 | +----------------------------------------+ | SBUTIL1 SoundBlaster TP6 LIB | | raMUD The MUD for MS-DOS under RA 1.01 | | raCHAT MultiLine Chat for RA 1.01 | +----------------------------------------+ | Currently in "LOOKING FOR WORK" mode | +----------------------------------------+
