Jr Communications Kludge may be distributed as you will. Don't charge money
for it. If anyone makes improvements to program let me know about it.
This program does not support internal modem.
There's a compatibility problem between JR's and a regular PC serial port
that prevents some communications programs from running with JR and an
external modem. Basically what happens is that the programs end up setting
the baud rate wrong. (There's another kind of problem with interrupt driven
communication programs, but JCK won't help with this.)
JCK is a memory resident program that allows a user to adjust his comm parms
to a proper JR setting from within a communications application.
If you use an external modem and have a program that requires many taps on the
keys to get a character to echo on the screen (or maybe can't get a character
at all), then you've got a candidate for JCK.
This version of JCK will probably not help with dialing directories. (Since
comm parms are usually reset when a number is dialed from the directory).
You'll probably need to dial from the keyboard.
JCK has got the the following programs going that otherwise would not work
with my Volksmodem 12 at 1200 baud:
PC-TALKB........need a bunch of memory and a ramdisk for downloads.
PC-DIAL.........better have a ramdisk.
QMODEM 1.09
Perfect Link 1.0......use COM2.
For commands and instructions run the program and use PrtScr.
JCK is brand new and still in experimental stage, but, at least for the time
being, I'm tired of messing with it. If you want to play around with the
program and can't locate the source, then ask me for a copy (address above).
Try making a dialing directory with a keyboard macro program.
