The Microsoft Network Uses Hardware Flow Control
Last reviewed: July 16, 1997

Article ID: Q134355

The information in this article applies to:


 * The Microsoft Network versions 1.0, 1.05, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.5

The Microsoft Network uses hardware flow control. If you change the flow control to software, it is usually automatically switched back to hardware for The Microsoft Network. However, if you use a three-wire cable to connect to an external modem, hardware flow control does not work and you cannot connect to The Microsoft Network.
