BOCA PRO16 Reference Guide
Problem:
Data from the remote computer is missing random characters.
Solution:
• You may be receiving data faster than your system can deal with it. If
this is the case you will need some sort of flow control — such as RTS/
CTS or XON/XOFF — if this is supported by your software.
• Some computers cannot cope with receiving data at speeds above
19200 bps. If you wish to run at high speeds, you should install a COM
port that has a 16550 chip in place of your regular COM port. The 16550
chip allows your computer to accept data at very high speed.
Problem:
Lines of incoming data are double spaced.
Solution:
• This occurs when both the local and remote computers are sending
linefeed characters. Turn your communication software’s linefeed
(sometimes called new-line) off.
Problem:
Incoming data writes over the same line.
Solution:
• Neither the remote computer nor the local computer are using linefeed
characters. Turn your communication software’s linefeed on.
Problem:
Incoming characters disappear off the right side of the screen.
Solution:
• The remote modem expects your software to provide wraparound.
Turn your communications software’s wraparound on.
