I've been trying to do some serial communication under Windows and keep on having problems w/ lost characters at 9600 baud. I understand the need to write my own interrupt routine and access hardware directly under DOS, but Windows should take care of these low level details for me, right? Can anyone suggest some thing I can try so as not to lose those characters or am I stuck at 300 baud? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that changing some parameters in the win.ini file might help, but I don't remember the details anymore. Thanks in advance! Post or email as you wish. --Lei P.S. Thanks for everyone's help on previous questions! Sorry I couldn't thank everyone individually.

What machine are you using? 286's have a known problem running at that speed. The last time I saw this in enhanced mode it was because someone was using all 4 com ports and getting interrupt confliction problems. Really need to know more about your machine. Cheers, Dan.
