George,
Turn off AutoAnswer by having the S0=0 and the having the DIP switch off. This
turns off AutoAnswer on the modem, but GPFax takes care of picking up the phone
line. The setting in GPFax specifies software handshaking (XON/XOFF), so you
want to make sure that your Prefs/Serial selection is set to XON/XOFF. I would
recommend using RTS/CTS (hardware flow control) when using a high-speed modem.
You will need to do the following:
1) Change your init string's &H2 to &H1 (this enables RTS/CTS flow control) 2)
Change the Prefs/Serial to RTS/CTS 8N1 and alteast have a baud rate of
19200 for a 14.4 or 31250 for a 28.8 model 3) Get a hardware flow-control
cable (also knows as a 7-wire cable or
as a straight through serial cable)
Hopefully, things should be working a bit better for you then. If you go to a
PC store and they ask what type of UART chip, say you have a 16550 (16-bit)
UART and that should take care of them. You actually don't have a 16550, but a
UART is built into one of the custom chips (Denise, if I'm not mistaked). The
UART controls Serial I/O functions.
