[comp.sys.laptops] Tandy 1100FD Comm problems

lsh@polari.UUCP (Lee Hauser) (11/12/90)

I'm having some odd telecom problems with my new Tandy 1100FD.  All telecom
software except Tandy's DeskMate telecom program and the DeskMate version of
PC-Link drop characters frequently.  This is using several different pieces of
software including Telix, Tapcis, pcAnywhere and Qmodem, on several modems
including the 1100 internal modem and Practical Peripherals 2400SA, on several
different telephone lines.  I'm contacting everything from my local Unix system
to CompuServe to local BBSs.  Qmodem indicates that I'm having buffer 
overruns.  I even get bad data when examining my modem configuration using the
at&v command!  Anyone have any hints on this problem, especially why everything
has the same problem except DeskMate software?  Incidentally, on this machine
DOS 3.3 and the DeskMate kernal are built into ROM.  I'd be happy to summarize 
mail replies.
