Hi Kirk,

Sorry to hear that you're having problems. 

Quick question. Have you downloaded the file 'baudrate.zip' from the
files section? If you havn't, I recommend that you do. It walks you
through the setup and it worked fine for me. 

To answer your questions:
I don't know if the card has to be completely blank and formatted or
not. Mine was new so I formatted it and it works fine. Likewise, I
don't know how many blocks are used.

You don't need to use a memory card to transfer at >9600. You only
need it if you want the default speed to be other than 9600. To test
other baud rates, use the '-B<baudrate>' option on the siocons command
line. Be sure to use an uppercase B. I'm not sure if it makes a
difference, but I don't put a space between the -B and the baud rate.
I'll have to check that.

The baud rate set by windows shouldn't matter, siocons can override
it. Just to be on the safe side, I'd make sure that you're set to 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and Xon/Xoff flow control. This works
for me.

Another thing that I've found is that having my Net Yaroze system
connected  on com2 and a modem on com4 causes problems when I'm
connected to the net.

Hope this helps,

Mario
