Why is it a disadvantage?  Nothing in SIO forces one to lock the baud
rate.  The ability is there if one chooses to use it, but it is an
optional parameter.  Right now, I am running SIO with no parameters, and
it works in my admittedly limited setting just fine. (point system, only
2 com ports in use, one for the mouse, the other for the modem).  I like
the SIO drivers because they cleared up some communications problems,
and they allow higher than 57.6kbps rate.

No to both questions, but if the next release of MainDoor will be released

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
I'm looking for some help in regards to settings for RA 2.02 / Dbridge 1.54
run in a multi environment  using Warp Connect v3 (Red).
What I have is running two DBridges (Frontend Mailer) and one RemoteAccess
Software v2.02. The reason of running two frontend mailers is that I have
stepping lines where one line steps down to the next line if node 1 is
engaged.
Each DBridge (frontend) mailer calls up  Remote Access (Yes I'm running
Remote Access as a Multi Node), what I get is one node like node 1 will slow
down when the other user on node 2 starts to download a file and this happens
visa versa.
This really affects the user on that node where the user has problems in
getting that node to respond, everything goes find when the user on the
second node has finish there download.
I have the following setup:-
486 DX 4-100 PCI
32 Megs Memory
1.6 GIGS HDD
The above 2 node BBS is setup on one computer running in a network (peer to
peer ) using OS/2 and netbios.
If anyone can help will be great, if you need more info please let me know
what you want and I'll send it to do you.
Cheers,
Graeme

There is a Binkley echo running, try to connect to that.
also take out the data compression from your modems
and try again, i run the same system and dont use data compression
as all the  files on the BBs are compresed all ready and get
1640 to 1680 cps with a 14400 modem.The system works this way
You have to have your Modem settings right, fossel setup, then binkley , and
then the bbs.
It could be the flow controll in your modem.
all the best.

Then I misplaced it (couldn't find it on any of my drives).  Then I went

again on my drive.  The documentation isn't very specific about what has been

Write your reply.

assistant: Referring to your msg of 28 Jul 1996:
Hi Bob,
...
To be honest, I did not know it was an option (I don't use SIO). But my
argument was against the possibility that SIO locks the DTE speed.
The DTE-speed is strictly an agreement between device-driver and modem. A
communications application should not bother about DTE-speed at all
(considering this in the link-level of the OSI model), whether variable or
not, and certainly not control it. Communications programs have a buffered
read/write interface to COM-ports. Do you know of any normal program with
file-I/O that needs to know the speed of the disk (let alone setting it!)???
In this 'ideal' situation locking is not of our concern.
Sometimes an application may need control over the DTE speed. I know of one:
when it needs to use (some?) modems in fax-mode.  I don't know nor understand
why these modems don't allow to leave the DTE-speed asis in fax-mode. Here
the application has to compensate for shortcomings of modem and/or device
driver. In this case forced locking by SIO is a problem. You may argue that
for the example above _not_ locking is a possibility of SIO. But my reasoning
is that SIO's feature of forced locking is not needed in the first place.
Maybe I am overlooking something. . . I would appreciate to hear about an
application to which changing the DTE speed _must_ be denied, or for which it
is even useful. Don't worry about my reputation . . .
Cheers, Rob
