Today we had a transformer blow and everything went low voltage. All of the Commodore hardware is on a battery backup so it's just fine but the PC it's plugged into was not. Restarted the PC this afternoon, loaded up tcpser4j and did a quick connect to test it. "Connected at 300 freakin baud". I gave a big Whiskey Tengo Foxtrot and started checking things. I even replaced the CIA and 740x (4 or 6 can't remember) that's the buffer. Same problem. Moved the null modem cable to com2. Same results. Copied over the original tcpser4j folder that Payton sent me and it connected at 1200 baud once. Now it's back to the 300 baud crap. Anyone got any ideas? It's down for all intents and purposes until I get it figured out <sigh>. It's connecting to the telnet server at 1200 but when it transfers the connection to the commodore the telnet server stays at 1200 baud and the commodore answers at 300 baud.

Well I got it back online this morning. I had to leave the selector switch on the Aprotek Com Modem adapter set to hayes compatible as opposed to 1670 and then configure dmbbs to use the 1670 init strings. It is now back to normal (at least I hope it is). The Aprotek has some metallic spray on the IC so it makes it hard to read the number but after a few minutes with a magnifying glass I found it to be a 74LS240N IC so I'm going to try and get one and replace that to see if that's the problem. Weird.
