The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 152
Q. Some of my callers are complaining that there are parts missing
from some of their display screens. What's wrong?
A. If this is a consistent problem, it is probably a flow control
problem. If you have an error correcting modem, be sure that
RTS/CTS flow control is enabled for both TriBBS and the modem.
If this is already set or you don't have an error correcting
modem, suggest to your caller that he should enable RTS/CTS flow
control if he has an error correcting modem and XON/XOFF flow
control also. This should clear up any flow control problems
like this. If it's an infrequent problem, it could just be line
noise.
Q. My modem detects a ring but doesn't answer the phone. What's
wrong?
A. Some modems can't accept the ATA command (the command that TriBBS
uses to answer the phone) as fast as the computer can send it to
it right after the modem sends a RING message. You need to
adjust the delay before ATA in the node configuration to a higher
value.
