From Packet: HOPPER
Message # 24180 Area : 19 MSWindow
From : Nill Toulme 10-18-91 11:02
To : Steve Perry
Subj : UNICOM 3.0 , Help?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SP>1. When I download from my local BBS, Qmail4 Door, the new packet
SP>overwrites the old. I have attempted to configure the Zmodem setup to
SP>protect the old file but the program reverts to its original setting.
This is a bug which has not been fixed as of 3.0a (don't know about b,
but I think not there either). Only fix for now is to rename the old
packet before dl'ing the new. I'm pretty sure this has been reported to
David.
SP>2. I have written a script (see below) that signs on, downloads and th
SP>hangs. I want it to continue after download; to upload my repli (if an
SP>exist on my hard drive) and then hang-up and close Unicom.
Does your script just end there? You need another waitfor and
continue. Here's the ul/dl portion of my script, which I think I cadged
from Brian Gay:
Waitfor "Qmail Command?"
FindFile "c:\comm\dl\FLAGEX.REP"
If Found
send "U^M"
waitfor "000"
SendFile "Zmodem" "c:\comm\dl\FLAGEX.REP"
Waitfor "transfer was successful",180
If Waitfor
filedelete("c:\comm\dl\FLAGEX.REP")
Endif
Waitfor "Command"
Endif
Send "D^M"
Waitfor "these messages",120
Send "Y^M"
Waitfor "000",120
GetFile "ZMODEM"
Waitfor "Qmail Command?"
Send "G^M"
Exit
SP>3. If I have Unicom running and my telephone rings (voice), my compute
SP>locks up. Is there some setting I can change to eliminate this problem
SP>Also if I am in the middle of a download and one of my children picks
SP>an extension, I lose the ability to communicate to the remote board an
SP>am forced to re-boot.
The first part sounds like you have call-waiting. You should disable
this anytime you go online. On most phone systems you do with with *70
or 1170... i.e., make your dialing string ATDT*70,###-####. The only
answer I know to the second one is either to lock up your children or
get a dedicated line.
SP>4. I have an Everex 2496 fax modem which has MNP 5 error correction. H
SP>can I configure Unicom to utilize this feature? I had it working under
SP>the last version but can't get it working with 3.0
You have to do this using the "User Entered" init string in the
Config/Modem menu. Your modem manual will give you the commands you
need. Be sure and lock the port at something higher than 2400, e.g.,
AT$SB9600$BA0. Also, don't use MNP5 but rather MNP4 for transferring
packed files... the MNP5 data compression is then redundant and actually
slows things down a tad. My modem defaults to compression off; yours
may or may not, but there'll be a command to change it.
