[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Crosstalk XVI on fast machines

msmith@topaz.rutgers.edu (Mark Robert Smith) (11/30/89)

I have a problem with Xtalk XVI.  Ever since we moved the modem from
an old XT to a new Compaq 286, Xtalk won't dial the number, since the
45 second count goes by in 2 seconds!  (due to the clock speed, I
guess).

Is there a way to get it to wait longer, or adjust the timing?  Or do
we have to get Xtalk Mk.4?

Thanks.
Mark

I noticed that problem too - it caused me to switch to Telix!  Xtalk XVI
really is getting long in the tooth... however, I suspect this particular
problem is fixed in the latest release (3.7).  Contact Crosstalk for
upgrade info.
