[comp.sys.att] Help with Procomm flow control, please !!!

rdj@ttrde.UUCP (Robert D. Jackson) (10/01/87)

I am attempting to use Procomm 2.4.2 for the first time, by plugging
a Datakit line into the Serial Port on my pc.  I have all the options
set to what I assume is correct (9600,N,7,1,XON/OFF) and Procomm
loses multitudes of characters when I try to log on to my machine.
I also tried this with a modem at 2400 baud, and the same problem
occurs.  I've exhausted any means that I have at my disposal to
get the flow control right, and the problem persists.  I have several
other communications programs, and they work fine over the same
line.  I'd really like to be able to use Procomm, because of all
the good things I've heard about it, but until I can overcome this
I'll stick to my cheapo standby communications program.

Anyone with any advice, please email.

Thanks in advance.
