I have the same problem. I just put in a GVP HC+8 in my A2620, replacing my
defective HardFrame controller and got tons of errors with an error
correcting V32/V42/V42bis coinnection.
I fixed the problem by running the GvpPatch program that someone wrote for
this problem. It chops up the DMA read/write requests into smaller chunks
while the serial port is in use.
The doc file says this is not a problem with the GVP controller but the
Amiga's serial port. To this I say rubbish. My HardFrame (during 5 years)
never once made this happen and has happened as soon as I put the GVP in.

I'm going to be getting my Dual around the end of the month, and
I was wondering about the fax option.  Can you use the
same fax software as with the Suprafax?  What has been deterined
to be the best amiga fax software so far?  Any other comments?

It is 'term's problem.  The patch you are describing fixes the problem of
writing an odd number of bytes to an even word boundary, an exception found
only in the 68000.  SetPatch 37.28 remaps these writes to the correct
boundaries for proper operation on 68000s, but _the code is still broken_.
Don't get me wrong, Olaf is far from the only one with this problem, but
Commmodore has warned developers about it since 1985.  By now, a kludgy fix
(that slows the system down watching for calls in need of remapping) shouldn't
be necessary.

As I do, don't use JrComm, start DNet (with the correct serial settings), use
it to log into your Unix account (from the initial DNet window, which acts
like a simple terminal), then start DNet on the Unix side, and after that you
start DNet on the Amiga side (from the menu), and it should work. You should
have an explanation about this in one of the doc files.

I tried to have 2 shells and one getfiles at the same time, and it works.
good luck.

I've  had  this  behaviour, too, but with a older version.  The Problem was
that  the  LocalID  string  in  the  config  file  must  be "quoted".  Then
everything works OK.

Supra, can they please email me their WSetup string or if possible, their
complete config file?  I want to buy the Supra and will eventually buy 
either GPFax or AFax, but for now, I just want to see if I can get it to

working with WinFax Pro on a PC.

If you have the X11 development system for AmigaDOS and SAS/C 5.10a you
can typically compile most unix X11 applications and they will run
under AmigaDOS. Problems are in the areas of pipes, hardcoded file
paths like /tmp/foo and fork/exec stuff. Otherwise all Xqwe() calls
work.

Why would you want to change protocals which are slower and less accurate than
JRComm's zmodem??  Why don't you just ask archie to find rz or sz or go on some
ftp sites which carry unix executables.  You should be able to find these very
easily.  BTW what do you mean you can't ftp from your amiga??  It should be 
just like being on your campus computers, you are already dialed in now all 
you do is ftp the software to your account then you sz (zmodem send) the 
software to your amiga.

Hope that helps 
Chris

Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 23:03:57 GMT

Hello,

    I have roughly $250 to spend on a high speed modem.

    I have read many posts and replies regarding many types of modem.  I have
read about Boca 14,4k, Supra 14,4k, Zyxel modems, USR Sportster 14,4.

    I'll try to get the best modem possible and I'll even look for wholesale
prices.  Which modem would you recommand around my price range.  If you know
any place (or any deal) that's around, I'm very interested in them.  Anything!

    Basically I want 9600 or 14,4K transfer speed.  Duel standard (sportster)
is not very important, but would be nice.  I might want the FAX ability.  But
"Caller ID" and "Voice" (what's voice?) is not important.

    Most importantly is that the modem should be able to connect and maintain a
steady transmission with the most host modems without overheat, going crazy,
or incapable of connecting at high speed baud rate, etc.

    Please flood me with your opinions.

I've used two networking packages that are supporting SANA2 and I know of a

Well, it seems Olaf has fixed the really big bug--improper handling of
a mousemove event that caused Term to trash a random location in
memory, this was the big problem with clipping text.

I do, however, suspect that if I do a recompile without optimizations,
I may have even less problems than I do now.  There are certain
"unexplainable" things that happen, apparently, randomly.  I plan on
compiling without optimization to see if that fixes memory losses and
some of the "instability".  It's unfortunate that SAS's go for 5.10b
had so many problems...

  I think it is the fastest the modem can go, since I have a pretty

  No, actually I never completed the transfer since it gets errors on
  a continuois basis.  I use VMODEM(a decus tool that does a good job
  of doing Xmodem transfers) on the VAX, and Jr-Comm 1.02a(also tried
  the same test with Terminus the V2.00 Jr-Comm beta).  After about 
  many errors I just abort the transfer.  In fact, at first I blamed
