anyone care to refresh my memory on Com port numbers and handle numbers
I have a problem with my 12 year old OS2 BBS -- ive connected it to
internet as I want to give up the dial connection -- created
a new Maximus window using COM4 and have SIO /VMODEM loaded and going
Connection over ethernet using TCPIP works just fine with upload/ download
/ off line readers etc also working ok
BUT when the above is fired up my dial users can no longer download their
mail -- they fail with a message as follows
" 20 Dec 22:33:15 MAX Return from: "maxpipe.exe 3 zip -jk -b -4 d:\ziptmp
D:\Mail\Olr\node03\GENBOARD.qwk D:\Mail\Olr\node03\*.* d:\mail\olr\*"
20 Dec 22:33:15 MAX Archiver error (errorlevel 255)"
for some reason the TCPIP VMODEM connetion is interfering with the dialed
in user - if I close down the TCPIP MAXIMUS session and close down VMODEM
then dial in returns to full function again
