Communications Unstable at 9600 BPS on DEC Pathworks

ID: Q86733

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) has confirmed that communications with a modem may not be stable with Windows 3.1 when using the DEC Pathworks network version 4.1.

DEC recommends you run at 2400 bits per second (BPS) to eliminate this problem, until new drivers are available.

MORE INFORMATION

When you use any communications package at 9600 BPS and are attached to the network, the application may drop characters and put unreadable characters ("garbage") on the screen. This is a known problem with the DEC Pathworks drivers, and DEC is currently investigating the problem.

The DEC products included here are manufactured by DEC, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
