Jeff,
I don't have to issue any MODE commands. I just load VModem, then fire up
telix.
I think Don's problem is he's using version 3.21. Telix 3.22 was a free
upgrade and he should try that version :)

To answer the above, yes Warp 4 will allow comm ports at 115200 as long as
your OS2 app can open to that speed. SIO doesn't care what speed your app can
talk to the port, the port always talked the right speed to the modem.
Reasons to keep SIO for Warp 4:
   1) more than 4 ports
   2) share IRQs on ports that are in the same chip (most PCI mbds and some
of          the better IO cards these days)
   3) fossil support
   4) virtual modem support
   5) ability to tell DOS whatever it needs to know to work without regards
o
         reality (you need all the DOS apps to use com1/IRQ4 go ahead
   6) ability to monitor the ports and control the locked rates etc...
As I depend on all but number 5 I will keep my 8 port SIO.

According to Netscape, they already have delivered a 128-bit NS/2
to IBM.  IBM apparently is reluctant to release it because of the
silly mutitions export laws that include encryption software.
Netscape insists that distribution of NS/2 is entirely up to IBM
and refer all questions on this to IBM.
I read a message on usenet several weeks ago where somebody
claimed that they had persuaded an IBM representative to release a
copy of the 128-bit encryption version  to them on the condition
that it not be redistributed.  Talk to your IBM representative and
see what happens.

assistant: David, when I ran Warp 3 (and still with Warp 4) I used InJoy along with
several ISP's that use PAP.  Basically, you don't need a script.  Everything
is handled by entering your username and password, and the negotiation when
you logon does the rest.  With InJoy, you just put in your name and password,
along with the phone number of your ISP, and that's about it.  It really does
handle the rest on its own!
You can FREQ it here, or on my ftp site by logging in anonymously and looking
in the directory 'fwcomm' for INJOY1_1.ZIP (619,131 bytes).
Good luck!

assistant: <smacking hand on forehead> Well shoot! Works just like you said it
does! I have an account on NetINS that uses PAP. Tried it and it
worked! Took three tries however. I seem to have had the Dial Other
Internet Providers (DOIP) of the Internet Access Kit (IAK) do that
to me when I used the DOIP (Give you errors like crazy, then just
try it again and all is well).  Trouble is I don't use it at all
now.
As I said I launch all my PPP connects from the command line (with
PPPDIAL29 handling my redial and script for me). I do this so that
My BBS front end mailer can drop out call my ISP and FTP FidoNet
mail packets automatically twice per day. So if you know how to do
it with ppp.exe. I'd sure like to know!
But thanks for the Info about DOIP I know of someone that will
benefit from that one!
