- Try setting it to 19200. For downloading mostly compressed files (ZIP,
- ARJ, .Z, etc), this should work fine. If you're downloading text or
- other compressable items, then try the next highest (38400).
-
- Other than that, check to see if you have a 16550 UART on your comm port.
-
- If you have an internal modem, chances are that you do. If you're not
- sure, try running the following (assuming you are using COM1):
-
- MODE COM1,19200,N,8,1,BUFFER=AUTO
-
- If you get the message "Asynchronous Communications mode has been set."
- then all is OK. Put that statement into your C:\startup.cmd and OS/2 will
- automatically set this for you every time you boot. If you get an error
- message, then you don't have a 16550 (or something else is wrong) so you
- can ignore all I just said about the BUFFER=AUTO stuff. I recommend you
- do get the 16550AFN chip. It will increase your reliability and allow
- you to use the higher baud rates under OS/2.
