[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Telix problem

jim_d@cimcor.mn.org (Jim Dahlberg) (02/06/89)

I have had a problem using Telix 3.11 at work, where I would like to switch
between using it with an internal modem and a direct-connect serial
port.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

The modem is 1200 baud on com3: (I have to tell Telix it is on com4: to
get it to work).  The direct-connect port is on com2: and runs at 19200
baud.

The only way to get either of these ports to work is to make it the
default port that gets initialized when I start up Telix.  If I try to
switch to the other port while running Telix, it doesn't work.  I get no
response from either the modem or the direct-connect port, depending on
which one I am trying to switch to.

   Still sounds as if you have hardware problems. I use Telix on comm3
   int2 (I cut the interupt line and move it on one of those el'cheapo
   rs232 cards) and a external modem on com2(int3), and a mouse on
   com1(int 4). 
   Telix switches back and forth between the ports just fine. I'm 
   running at 9600 into a Xenix machine direct on comm3. 19.2k shows
   to much jerky sceen updates. Use int5 on an AT.
