I'm going for the obscure question of the month award. Does anybody know the
minimum voltage going into the computer for TS to hold on to a BMI Satellite
signal?

I've got TS on Win98 on a new AMD K6-2 333Mhz chip that keeps dropping the
signal, sometimes it will drop for a few seconds, sometimes for hours. It
will sync up ("Communication Established: Baud Rate Set") and then lose the
connection and cycle through the different baud rates trying to sync up
again. I get 9 volts out of the back of the BMI Converter, but am down to
about 7.5-7.7 at the computer.

I was told it was a Win98 registry problem. but, no, don't think so. Did a
hard disk reformat and reinstall of Win98 and TS last night. That didn't
make any difference.

Another idea...anybody know if the on board COM port could be the problem?

Thanks,
Mark
