[Dxbase] Configuration Data?

[Stan]

Bill and others,

Got it fixed. How dumb...I forgot to go into device manager and change the
Win 7 default port settings from 9600 to 57600. Now everything is hunky
dory: DXBase is running fine, is interfacing properly with the N4PY control
software for my Orion, and also interfacing properly with the VE7CC AR User
telnet program. During my searches I did see the info about the xp
compatibility mode that they are working on, but I am glad I won't have to
use it, at least for these programs.

73,
Stan W4AG

   Stan,   Not  being all that  computer  literate...  I  just  read  in 
the Sept.  QST,   Page 91
       Microsoft is testing something called  "XPM"      XPM  will be a 
Windows   7    add on
         to  provide complete  XP   compatibility ....

It is a NetMos pci card with two serial ports on the back. Win 7
automatically recognized it as a NetMos and assigned drivers. When I try to
update the drivers using the CD that came with the board, Win 7 refuses and
says that the most current drivers are already installed. A search on the
NetMos site shows no downloadable drivers but rather links to third-party
companies that either charge for the drivers or force you to download their
driver monitoring program. I may have to bite the bullet and pay a few
bucks, although I have a feeling that what I download will be the same as
what is on the CD already. The ports work fine with Vista.
