hardware handshaking should also be configured at the port...

in win3.1x

main/control panel/ports/select port/settings/

set speed to 19200... windows comm.drv doesnt understand largrer than
19200

flow control to hardware at the bottom....

dont forget some modems are RPI... then you need rpi stuff from
rockwell...

the same needs to be done for win95 people...

start/settings/control panel/system/ports(com and lpt)/whatever
ports/device manager/port settings/

set speed at top and use hardware flow control on the bottom...

ymmv, yet its always worked for us...
