I wanted to pass along some information which helped me and may be useful to you and others here in the forum. I was having a problem on my new Gateway system with a US Robotics Sprotster 144 Fax Modem. The problem was that DTS Phone would not hang up after I dialed the number and picked up the handset and clicked Talk. After experimenting with other programs (Borland Sidekick and Windows Cardfile) I found the fix. There is a replacement file for windows for workgroups' COMM.DRV called CYBERCOM.DRV (IBMCOMM Lib2) that solved the problem. From what I can tell, the WfWg COMM.DRV file allows 16550 support for receiving but falls somewhat short in supporting sending functions (basically) with the 16550. CYBERCOM.DRV addresses the problem. A note however, for Delrina users using WinFax Pro 4.0 – the CYBERCOMM.DRV has instructions that ask you to modify your SYSTEM.INI file (386Enh Section) setting the line COMxFIFO= to be 1 (COMxFIFO=1, where x=comm port). Delrina recommends setting this to 2, NOT 0 or 1. I've left mine at 2 as Delrina suggests, and I can fax fine, and OKNA hangs up fine. Now if I could get WinFax Pro 4.0 to read my phone book… <g> Any comments on the status for the next release (currently using 4.0c)???? Best, Tony
