CyberCom V1.1.0.0P

CYBERCOM.DRV 9264 11-26-93 1:06p

The High Speed Serial Communications Driver for Windows 3.1 Designed for 386
(and above) systems using the 16550 serial port chip. (C) CyberSoft Corp 1993.
Requires Windows 3.1, Enhanced Mode, a 16550 UART

Introduction

CyberCom is a direct replacement for the standard Windows Communications Driver
(COMM.DRV).

Transfer at up to 115,200 KB with a 16550 serial port chip.

Great for V.FAST and Voice modems that require 57,600 Kb.

More reliable Transfer with less overhead on your system - better background
operation, fewer (if any) over/under runs.

How Does it Work?

Don't worry if the following sounds too complicated - just skip over it and move on to
the Installation.

CyberCom enables the FIFO buffer on the 16550 to be enabled for both receive AND
transmit  (COMM.DRV only enables the FIFO for receive.)

The ‘interrupt trigger level’ has been set to 8 for both transmit and receive, this gives
your applications a lot more time to process incoming information. (COMM.DRV
sets the trigger level to 14 which means that your application only has 2 characters in
which read from the FIFO buffer.)

What this means is that your communications applications will get far fewer (if any)
‘under runs’ or ‘over runs’ when sending or receiving.
