COM port at 19200 with MODE CMD?
Jack Birecree OCR group (69629)
these files tend to get large. The receiving board can handle up to 19200
baud. Unfortunately, when I try to use the mode command to configure my
COM2 port for anything higher than 9600, it balks:
>mode COM2:19,8,n,1,retry=none
Function not supported on this computer
Anybody know how I can get the port to handle 19200? I'm sure the chip can
handle it because when running other programs that take control of the
serial port, I can go as high as 115,200.
I am using the DOS COPY command to send the files to the serial port. Maybe
someone knows of a better way????
Please E-mail...

DOS can only handle up to 9600. To go higher you need to access the port
directly.

If you're using DOS6.X, there's INTERLNK and INTERSRV I think.

(usually) only goes up to 9600. Check out "help mode" if you have a DOS
version greater than or equal to 5. You would be better of by using a
small (interrupt driven) term program and either using an ASCII transfer or
cut and paste.

Look into the fossil drivers available on SimTel and its clones. I'm
pretty sure it lets you set higher baud rates.
As far as the copy, I'd use a communications program like Procomm or Telix
which would eliminate the need for the mode function.
