Doug, Just so happens that I too use TapCIS, but to get the FIFO buffers in the serial comm chip to work you have to acitvate them. Here's the response that I get from TAP with my log on to CIS……………….. [TAPCIS: Open COM2:] [TAPCIS: Serial FIFO Buffer ON] AT&F1&K4&Q9S95=44L1DT261-0040 CARRIER 14400 PROTOCOL: LAP-M COMPRESSION: NONE CONNECT 38400 [TAPCIS: ^C Sent ] To get the serial FIFO buffer turned on, you have to set the TAPCIS.CFG file line "/FIFO=Y". Actually there is lots of stuff you should be setting in the that file to use the higher speed modems. Actually TAP uses the B+ protocol, and that's the one that will let you restart downloads if you get interrupted. It's also one of the fastest on CIS…….<grin>.
