to get or change the baud rate for COM1 or COM2, without dropping the DTR.
Normally it is necessary to CLOSE, then OPEN the com port, which drops the DTR.
NB: BAUDRATE bypasses DOS and BIOS! COM1 and COM2 MUST be configured in
your PC-compatible in a standard way (ie, IO PORTS 3F8h - 3FFh for COM1, and
IO PORTS 2F8h - 2FFh for COM2). Don't worry - the chances are you're okay!
The archive QBBAUD.ARC contains:
READ.ME - this file
DEMOBAUD.BAS - source code to demo BAUDRATE (with REMs);
DEMOBAUD.OBJ - the result of: QB DEMOBAUD; (QB v3.0);
BAUDRATE.BAS - source code for the baud changer SubProgram;
BAUDRATE.OBJ - the result of: QB BAUDRATE; (QB v3.0);
DEMOBAUD.EXE - the result of: LINK DEMOBAUD+BAUDRATE;
(NB - You must have BRUN30.EXE to run DEMOBAUD.EXE!)

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
