This is most probably a problem with setting the DTR use properly. I am
posting instead of reply mail, because there is obviously still mis-
understanding on this. You must give the command AT&D1 so that the modem
hangs up on a DTR transition. This is probably what your com software
expects from it. You might have to either save it with AT&W of change a
dip switch on the modem for it to become permanent.

Hope this helps.

WORM is usually an offering on a Magneto optical platform, but
can be implemented many ways. But I am pretty sure most 
WORM devices are CONCENTRIC RINGS of sectors and are absolutely
not RED BOOK style SPIRAL CD TRACKS.

Pretty soon your innocent wish may be granted at reasonable prices.

I envision a cost of $3000.00 in 2.5 years for the organic dye
based mastering systems. Of course you will need software to
create the tracks and hopefully competition or piracy will make
that component affordable as well.

you are not using a vertical refresh rate that is too high.

This is not quite correct:
I started using 22DISK with a hardware patched XT controller card, which
was able to do the _single_ density on track 0. I left it for a Seagate
ST02 SCSI/FD controller, which, to my amazement, was able to do it as well!
So maybe there are other controllers who do it as well.

  How come? Two slots put twice as much load on bus drivers,

bigger. And if we'd count the capacitance of the traces, and

I understand that "Zeos" might be offering moms with

 Since CPU can't address two slots simultaneously I don't see
(do you? tell me) why (despite commercial interest) two slots
could cause better performance.

No, I'm pretty certain that MAG makes Gateway's monitors.  For one,
when I wrote gateway@aol.com, Cynthia Lloyd told me that they were
having problems with the monitors and were working with MAG to fix the

I had a Boca (internal) and had no problems with it other than connecting
with our school modem.  Being that this was/is important to me, I sold it
and got the Cardinal MB14400SR (external).  I got the Cardinal in my hands
last Friday and haven't yet experienced any problems.  And yes, it does work

For gaming primarily outside of Windows, I'd avoid the S3.  The S3 chip is a
screamer for Windows apps, but its performance is mediocre outside of Windows.
I think the ATI may be the best all around, but is also the most expensive.
If you know you won't be doing Windows, I'd think the Tseng would suffice.

In summary...
* Tseng -- fast at bit-mapped graphics in DOS applications.
* S3 -- turbo-charged chip for Windows, otherwise average at best.
* ATI -- provides great combination of DOS and Windows performance...with a
price to match.

But then again, I still have an old el-cheapo VGA card which is barely capable
of 640x480x256...

Your communications program is leaving the interrupt vector set to it's
own code and not restoring it when it exits. When the phone rings, the
modem is probably sending "RING" along the data lines and/or raising
the RING line - pin 22 - and possibly DTR -pin 20- to the computer.
The machine sees the data, or the control line delta and generates an
interrupt to alert the non-existant software. BINGO.
A possible solution is to reboot your machine, or only shell out to DOS
rather than exiting. Another possibility is to load a mouse driver
after you are finished. Specify the same serial port you use for the
modem. This may work if the driver will load without a physical mouse
present
Lastly, check to see if another program (like TELIX) might work as well
as your current one. I haven't had any similar problems with TELIX so
I assume it resets the interrupt correctly.

     Also, what is the RAMDAC chip and what does it do?

2.   How does the Prolab accelerator card rate?  Does anyone have any positive

     How does the card rate with, say, the Tseng labs or S3?

-- the colors get warped, text in dos gets blurry (seems like the
resolution drops), windows in Windows 3.1 flicker like crazy.  Or
sometimes my display just goes blank.  I need to cold boot to fix the

soon as the modem dials, hangs up, or when I exit the terminal program. 
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Here's my setup:

V-COM 486 DX50/2
Local Bus Video GA-200 with ET4000 chips, 1 MB ram
Adtech Perfect DataFax 2400 modem w/ v.42bis

I have the modem set to COM2, my mouse set to COM1.

Ive noticed this too with the Stealth card. Ive customized vmode and loaded 
it as a TSR. I believe this "static" only happens with VGA. Ive noticed it
occurring with when text is displayed over a vga screen (specifically in
Ultima 7). This is the first it has been mentioned on the net..I was 
wondering if it was my card. Guess not..must be the crummy VGA emulator.
Any more info/solutions would be helpful.

We have seen some weirdness with remapping with the Symphony
and believe it to be some sort of timing problem within the
chipset (unconfirmed... take it as just a rumor :).  Anyway,
besides the weirdness (which seems to only be a problem in
protected mode), the chipset seems to be pretty solid compared
to others in the same price range.  I would just learn to live
without the remapped memory.
