Thanks in advice. > > Regards Roman > > e-mail: d-twinz@gap.baynet.de I have been having a similar problem with getting my Yaroze to connect. I have had my Yaroze for about 6 months,and I have been able to connect fine using I/O address 03F8-03FF, IRQ 4, and 9600 BPS. Recently, however, whenever I try to connect SIOCONS has not displayed the ">>" prompt, but instead it displays random ASCII characters whenever I type anything in. The funny thing is, SIOCONS does not display these ASCII characters when I change the I/O or the IRQ settings. I have also tried connecting with HyperTerminal, a terminal emulation program, and that also displays random ASCII characters whenever I connect. Because of the presence of the ASCII characters on the screen whenever the settings are correct, I am pretty sure that SIOCONS is getting through to the Yaroze, but I still have no idea why the prompt will not appear. See if random ASCII characters are being printed to your screen whenever you try to connect; you may be having the same problem that I am having! Jay Ayres pennya@cris.com
