My customer wants to convert a scale reading application from

Windows 3 to 95, the problem is with serial ports under windows 95.

The reads are missing characters using V124, has anyone found an answer to this problem? I have installed timeing loops to slow things

down however the problem remains. Thanks

<QUOTE>We had a similar (maybe not identical) problem.

The Arev application is talking to a Unix based application over a serial line.

After ungrading to faster PC's, transmisions became unreliable.

ASCII character Zero (char(48)) was intermittently dropped on incoming transmissions, while certain charcters over char(127) were mistranslating on the outgoing transmissions (character received was not character sent). 

Because we had the source code for both ends, we simply translated all messages into a code subset. Its ugly, but it works OK for this Client.
