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
