When I first purchased my 1000SX, I was under the impression that it was
a true IBM-compatible machine.  Now I hear about how the bus more closely
resembles an old PCjr.  Is this true?  The reason I am asking is that I
recently installed an internal Hayes compatible (Zoom) modem, and it is
giving me some funny trouble.  I get long strings (80+) of the same
character.  For example, a common problem is just after I have connected
to a BBS, the welcome message could look like:

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWelcccccccccccccccccoooooooooooooooooooooom

You get the picture?

Also, lately the modem does not seem to realize that the other side has
connected.  I can hear the modems connect, the speaker cuts off, but I
don't see the "CONNECT 2400" string that I used to.  By the way, I use
Procomm version ZM 2.4.2.  I have used procomm on other machines and it
works just fine, so I don't think that's the problem.  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Troy
