[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] copy to COM1 without aborting

dlo@questor.wimsey.bc.ca (David Lo) (09/06/90)

To have DOS ignore time outs in copying to COM1, you can try the DOS
MODE command:
  MODE COM1: baud, parity, databits, stopbits, P
The P parameter tells DOS to continuously try to send data when a 
time out occurs.  The other parameters are mandatory.  I hope this works.
