Hello everybody.... I just made the leap to Win2K from Win98 and managed to get MH running again (after fighting with my 8port serial card for a couple days). Is there a list of changes that have to be made to an existing MH installation to make it work in Win2K? So far, the only thing I noticed is this: For some reason, my serial ports were numbered COM11 -> COM18, so I updated my mh.private.ini file with cm11_port=COM11 - this didn't work. I finally had to code it as: cm11_port=//./COM11 and now it seems to work. I'm not sure why I thought to try that, but it sticks in my mind from somewhere (probably on this list). Is this related to Win2K, or to the fact that the COM port is > COM4, or what? Also, what is the suggested TTS package for Win2K, and where to get it? Thanks! Matt Cleland cl...@bi... |

You probably read that tip in the default mh.ini, although there I suggested \\.\COM11 ... apparently ether / or \ will do. >Also, what is the suggested TTS package for Win2K, and where to get it? Same as for Win95/Win98 ... the MS TTS. See mh/docs/install.html for a pointer. Bruce |

Thanks again, Bruce - I knew I read it somewhere. It's been a while since I've actually looked in mh.ini, though. BTW, the card I have is the byterunner 8-port card - It's up and running well with Windows 98, 2000 and Linux. Sean Dudley @ Byterunner is a good guy, too and always responds to requests for help. I think the current cards have the 16950 UART on them, which has a 128byte FIFO for reeeaally fast ports. I have the lowly 16750 UARTS with only 64 byte FIFOs. I feel so under buffered :-) Hopefully the ol' CM11 won't wake up some morning and start trying to talk to misterhouse at 900K or something.....
