************ Topic 2 Sat Oct 15, 1994 J.CHRISMAN at 17:41 EDT Sub: 1670 Modem 1670 Modem Info 7 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 2 Message 1 Sat Oct 15, 1994 J.CHRISMAN at 17:43 EDT Can anyone give me the commands for the 1670 modem? I bought one used and it came with no manual. ------------ Category 8, Topic 2 Message 2 Sun Oct 16, 1994 J.STAFF [James] at 12:37 EDT Chrisman Email me, with your address and I will send a copy out. James ------------ Category 8, Topic 2 Message 3 Tue Oct 25, 1994 J.CHRISMAN at 18:24 EDT I appreciate that, but it really won't be necessary. Just posting the commands here would be fine. If the list is too long, I will send you my address instead. ------------ Category 8, Topic 2 Message 4 Wed Nov 02, 1994 J.STAFF [James] at 20:54 EST Chrisman- EMAIL me and ask me specifically what you need. Most commands are AT. ATZ Modem reset ATDT ###-#### Dial tone then ###-#### ATDP ###-#### Dial pulse then ###-#### These are the basic ones. James ------------ Category 8, Topic 2 Message 5 Sun Nov 06, 1994 J.CHRISMAN at 01:25 EST What command takes the phone off hook and which command puts it back on hook? Which command changes baud rate? Thanks for the help. ------------ Category 8, Topic 2 Message 6 Sun Nov 06, 1994 CBM-ED [e.g.bell] at 03:12 EST I believe that ATH puts the phone onhook and ATA takes it off hook. I don't think there is a command to change baud rate. That is a function of the software for dialing out and software and the modem when receiving a call. ------------ Category 8, Topic 2 Message 7 Sun Nov 06, 1994 CMD-DOUG at 10:33 EST ATA is usually used to set a modem to Auto-Answer mode... ATH1 takes the modem off-hook, and ATH0 puts it on-hook. ------------ 8 ? ************ Topic 6 Mon Oct 03, 1994 W.WILEY2 (Forwarded) Sub: need to get message sent to Qlinker My Qlink disk crashed just as I was selling some equipment online in a conference area, and I cant get back online (I accidentally used Super Q--and it crashed my access instantly. I read about this problem 2 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 6 Message 1 Mon Oct 03, 1994 W.WILEY2 (Forwarded) ...I need to get a message to a guy I am selling stuff to; could you help? If someone could give 'Maxvolume1' my home phone #, I'd appreciate it. If you can do this for me, email me ASAP so he has a chance of finding me again. I accidentally tried conferencing with him using Super Q, and I locked up and can no longer access the Q. I read months ago about others who had that problem, and Iguess I'll write off the last 20-odd days access to Q. Thanks to any of you that emails me able to help me reach him. -Will:< ------------ Category 8, Topic 6 Message 2 Thu Oct 20, 1994 T.LOEPP at 02:30 EDT I also did the exact same thing! I used Super-Q trying to show my son all the cool things that Q-Link could do, and now my disk can't be verified. Anyway I would like to get ahold of "Brenda G4" I think that she is also here on genie. My address is T.Loepp. One more note, while talking to the Q-link staff in trying to get back online, I was told about one of the other employees there at "Q" that runs his own BBS service and has a great deal of the Q-link files on his board. It is on the East coast, here is the number: Digital Link 301-946-1517 The guy helping me at "Q" also told me that Q-link may save a couple of there libraries, but that they were most likely going to purge most of them :( (what a shame to let all those files be purged). -T.Loepp ------------ ************ Topic 7 Thu Sep 29, 1994 S.FREDERICKM [Fred Devil] (Forwarded) Sub: Need help downloading on GEnie? Cannot d/l from Genie using my Commie! 11 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 1 Thu Sep 29, 1994 S.FREDERICKM [Fred Devil] (Forwarded) I cannot download from Genie using my Commodore equipment. I can download fine using my 48 fine using z-modem on my 486, but when I try to d/l using my 128 with desterm, x-modem and x-modem 1k abort after telling me they are waiting for check for checksum, and y-modem just sits there until I press esc. I have successfully downloaded from my bbs using x-modem 1k as a test, so I think it may have something to do with my setup for Genie. I am set up 7e1 for protocol, and using ANSI emulation. Anyone have any ideas? It's a pain where the sun don't shine to call Genie with the 486, download, upload the file(s) to my bbs, and call back with the Commie so I can leech them using punter. I am using an Omnitronics interface with a dowty Quattro II modem at 2400 bps with compression turned off, and I have a Warp Speed Cartridge. Fred Frednet! (410) 744-FRED (BBS Plug) ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 2 Thu Sep 29, 1994 CMD-DOUG (Forwarded) First, you should set your terminal configuration for 8N1 - not 7E1. That alone may clear up your problem. If not, I'd try it again without the Warp Speed Cartridge, just to make sure it isn't affecting things. ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 3 Thu Sep 29, 1994 THE.OUTLAW (Forwarded) Fred, another problem I see in your Desterm setup is the ANSI emulation. You need ASCII, GEnie doesn't have any color codes. ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 4 Thu Sep 29, 1994 CBM-ED [e.g.bell] (Forwarded) ANSI would not affect the file transfer protocols. However, Doug is correct that the 7e1 setting would. ANSI is handled at a much higher level than the parity/word size, and is not in a protocol in any way. The word size and parity, on the other hand, are applied/tested for (if the program being used does the testing) before the protocol ever gets the data. ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 5 Thu Sep 29, 1994 S.FREDERICKM [Fred Devil] (Forwarded) Oppps... did I say ANSI? I meant ASCII. As far as the 8 bit word goes, I'll change my params and try it. Thanx for the speedy responses! -Fred (Unplugged) ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 6 Thu Sep 29, 1994 S.FREDERICKM [Fred Devil] (Forwarded) Thanks, guys! That fixed it! :) ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 7 Thu Sep 29, 1994 CMD-DOUG (Forwarded) Great! :) ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 8 Sun Oct 16, 1994 D.TUOMI [Doctor] at 06:28 EDT That's peculiar, I'm currently using DESTerm with 7 bit odd parity and I've never experienced a transfer problem. I always assumed that the protocols overrode the default parity settings. Doc. -My program will probably stop working now that its been told its not supposed to be able to work. ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 9 Wed Jan 11, 1995 MC.PHOTO at 01:54 EST Hello! I have tried, using my NOVATERM 9.5 to download programs I have downloaded 12 programs. NONE will decompress correctly! I have tried all of the different parameters that I can think of including X mod Y mod Z mod ,etc, etc. Also, I am having a strange problem: when I print out my mail, or documents (downloaded), I print them out using: GEOS BBR128 or NOVATERM they all will print one page, then feed 2 pages of paper, then continue printing (this may be my printer/interface settings--but related to download problems??) I am trying to get local MA BELL to install clean phone line. I am at mailbox: MC.PHOTO Help me......................... ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 10 Wed Jan 11, 1995 E.BOURDON1 [C128-Eddie] at 22:47 EST What were the names/numbers of the files that you have downloaded? Were they .SFX, .SDA, or ARC files? Since you have the printing problems with all 3 programs,it must be in your interface settings. ------------ Category 8, Topic 7 Message 11 Mon Jan 16, 1995 C128.JBEE at 17:21 EST > MC.PHOTO > Hello! I have tried, using my NOVATERM 9.5 to download programs I have > downloaded 12 programs. NONE will decompress correctly! I have tried all of Is there a switch for the download protocols that allow you to translate downloaded files into PetAscii? I am thinking maybe that is the problem. Are the files being downloaded as PRG files? Regarding the scrolling pages when printing captured text, this sounds like line noise may have introduced "hidden" garbage characters into the text that would only be visible with a text editor, not a text reader. Have you solved any of the problems so far? ------------ 8 ? ************ Topic 12 Sat Mar 26, 1994 R.DAY (Forwarded) Sub: Q-link deleted this text. The last day I was on Q-link I left a message in the Geos part. About 2 weeks later I got on with a freinds Q-link disk. This message was not there at all. They must of deleted it before the next day. Is it 28 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 1 Sat Mar 26, 1994 R.DAY (Forwarded) Is it because of the 2400 baud? That's what I think what do you? Here is the text. SUBJ: bye FROM: RaymondD2 06/30/93 S#: 413533 This is the last time I will be here on Q-link. I have about 25 min. left of free Q-pon time I will use up. I have been on Q-link for a long time but It's slowed down. I used to get at lest 1 mail every day. Now mybe 1 a week. This is the board that gets used the most. Others just have about 2, 3, or 4 new post a week. I hat no new files :\ It all so looks li ke Q-link just does not cair and all the $ all are paying it going to AOL. This is a system like Q-link only for the IBM. Easy to get around. So people my like it like they do Q-link, but I will never go there the way Q-link don't cair about us here. I herd the LIB prob. my be because of AOL working with Windows on the IBM that is about when it started. They are hooked up. Go in PC and type =q to see it mess up. It will do the same on AOL. CMD says if Q-link would just retern there calls you could use 2400 boud on Q-link. But Q-link has had about 7 month to give the go ahead to CMD. But will they? I guess not. I gave them 7 months and still they will not even do that and it don't take not hing on there part, just a call to CMD!!!! :\ Well if any one want to get a hold of me you can send me a letter or call I guess. Just asked Georep Jim here on Q-link. He knows how to get a hold of me. If you have a bad REU or want it upgraded I can fix or upgrad them for a very good price. I have f ixed 1541 drives and C64 and put stereo in a lot of them. So if you need help like that. If gets me mad that Q-link just will not do any thing else with this system. Then when you think that all the $ you are paying here is going to suport AOL because they are not doing any thing over here :\ Bye is was a very good time being here on Q-link I liked it alot. It will just be a good memery now. I like to see the message when you call Q and it says Q-link is not here any more. If you have Super Snapshot get the screen. It my be a good one for so mthing. Go on and comment here I think over a friends I can log on with there Q- link disk to see what people say. If Q-link will fix the LIB I my be back on. I hope they go 2400 boud too! see ya. Raymond Day. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 2 Thu May 12, 1994 H.STEVENS5 [HaroldOH] (Forwarded) Raymond, if I were you I would just tell Q-Link goodbye. About three years ago I kept pestering them to switch to 2400 baud so that I and others could download more software in less time. Their answer was "at this time we determined that it is not in the best interest of our users to offer 2400 baud." When I read this I really ripped into them, telling them that it (their answer) was the biggest crock of bull that I ever heard of. I finally left after they got rid of the GEOS area and then headed here to GEnie, where I have found that many of the old Q-Link people are here. So, you're not really missing anything if you have since left them. --Harold (formerly HaroldOH) ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 3 Fri May 13, 1994 N.PHI [Toto] (Forwarded) Well, although I have never called Q-Link myself, I HAVE heard horror stories on many aspects including low speed, high cost, hardware quirks, and so on and so forth. GEnie is the first large network I have connected with. I do wish there were higher-speed access at no extra cost and high availability, but I doubt that's coming any time soon... ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 4 Wed May 18, 1994 D.TUOMI [Doctor] (Forwarded) Pitty about GEnie's high cost high-speed links. You would think they would try to compete against Compuserve and Prodigy which are offereing free 9600 bps links in a lot of areas. I've not noted that for GEnie, unless policy has changed since last I looked. Doc. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 5 Fri Jun 03, 1994 P.KELLER5 [Knight Rider] (Forwarded) Hey, CMD! How about you guys buying Q-Link? Since America Online is letting Q-Link fall to pieces, it sure would be nice for someone to buy it and improve it by upgrading up to 9600 baud, adding Amiga users, 128 software, etc. Q-Link has a lot to offer, with color and graphics! Plus another place for Commodore users. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 6 Sat Jun 04, 1994 CMD-DOUG (Forwarded) Seems like it would be a lot cheaper and quicker just to write a colorful front end for right here on GEnie, don't you think? ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 7 Sat Jun 04, 1994 C.OGLE2 [V128_B.Stick] (Forwarded) Doug... kinda, but not really. Even though Qlink became unbearably slow if too many people were on at once (more than 1?), it still had a certain uniqueness to it. Every message area was in it's own little area, and that base had it's own downloading areas to choose from. It was really nice if you were only interested in a couple of conferences, or only wanted to browse files for a particular area/group. Also, even though the messaging system was completely slow, bulky, etc, I did like being able to view all messages posted (most recent to oldest) in menu format. I know you can basically do the same thing here, with a little timkering, but I'm sure other ex-Qlink users can vouch that it was fairly intuitive, and didn't require much doc-reading. BTW, I'm not sure what CMD would do with Qlink if they did purchase it. It's basically sharing space with AOL, and still has the mysterious 'file-eating virus' (the one that looks amazingly like AOL deleting C= files to make room for more AOL stuff). It would be much cheaper in the short and long run to just set up a new system on a few high-speed pc's, and offer it through sprintnet... kinda like that Phoenix BBS. Scott ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 8 Sat Jun 04, 1994 CMD-DOUG (Forwarded) Well, I wouldn't worry too much about CMD buying Q-Link, anyway. Or start a new system for that matter. We've got more things going on now than we have hours in a normal work-day to handle. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 9 Sat Jun 04, 1994 CBM-ED [e.g.bell] (Forwarded) I'd be kind of disappointed if GEnie went to a GUI interface type system. I can see some value for such a system for absolute novices, but no one stays that way forever, unless by choice. I like the freedom GEhie offers. Guess that is why there are Fords and Chevys. :) ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 10 Sat Jun 04, 1994 C128.JBEE (Forwarded) Most companies would not allow a file eating virus to live in their multi-million dollar fault tolerant servers, under ANY condition. Especially if they were connected to a major online service like AOL. I do not care who says this is what is happening, I do not believe it. I do not believe AOL is deleting Commodore files to make room for other files since Commodore files are so small compared to 1 meg .GIFs, it would hardly be worth the effort. Most likely CPu time is being rationed in a ratio they deem profitable and to cut down on CPu overhead so the rationed time slices do not totally freeze the system, indexes are being skipped or zeroed out. If I was going to believe any paragraph, it would be the last one. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 11 Sat Jun 04, 1994 CMD-DOUG (Forwarded) JBEE, It's a storage allocation bug, not a virus. At some point in the storage allocation routines, a value used by those routines probably reached a value that the routines either couldn't handle, or couldn't handle properly. From that point on, as new data has been added, old data becomes corrupt. This is apparent in looking around on the system... file messages with two headers and no actual message, corrupt files, files which the system can no longer locate... It also appears that AOL, Inc. did look into the problem enough to get a general idea of what was happening, but deemed they didn't want to put money into fixing it. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 12 Sat Jun 04, 1994 C128.JBEE (Forwarded) A storage allocation bug sounds a lot more plausible than a virus! ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 13 Sun Jun 05, 1994 P.KELLER5 [Knight Rider] (Forwarded) It's funny, but I went on Q-Link last night. It's still there, can't believe it. Oh, I'm not paying for it, using our user group disk. But it seems now that they are not giving the user groups the 5 hours free time per month anymore. I checked my time left, and it shows 241 minutes free time. Seems they don't want to give us anything there anymore. As for thinking about the so called "bugs" in the upload/download area of Q- Link, it's probably a lie! They don't want us around, but still don't know why they keep it alive. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 14 Sun Jun 05, 1994 L.SCHONDER [C128.LOU] (Forwarded) Q-Link. I'm speechless. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 15 Mon Jun 06, 1994 CMD-DOUG (Forwarded) The 'bugs' are not a lie. Check it out yourself. Uploads were turned off for that very reason, and if you try downloading a handful of old files, you'll see some of the problems I mentioned. This isn't heresay; I've verified all of this myself. As for them not wanting the users anymore, that isn't quite true. They'll take your money as long as you're willing to spend it. They just won't put any of it back into maintaining and upgrading the system. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 16 Tue Jun 07, 1994 L.SCHONDER [C128.LOU] (Forwarded) Isn't that what Al Capone was doing? ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 17 Wed Jun 08, 1994 H.HERMAN1 (Forwarded) >that they are not giving the user groups the 5 hours free time per month >anymore. I checked my time left, and it shows 241 minutes free time. Seems >they don't want to give us anything there anymore. 241 minutes IS 4 hours and 1 minute. Maybe you used up the 59 minute difference? Howie ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 18 Fri Jun 17, 1994 Q.LEE (Forwarded) Does anyone know what the character prefix is for telenet numbers and for tymnet numbers to access Q-Link? I have the Q-link disk, I have local numbers for telenet and tymnet. But I don't have the prefix characters. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 19 Wed Jun 22, 1994 P.KELLER5 [Knight Rider] (Forwarded) Ok, put a + then the number for telenet, or put a / then the number for tymnet. I have heard that telenet is better, some things don't work through tymnet or something like that. Example: +5551212 for Telenet, /5551212 for tymnet. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 20 Thu Jun 30, 1994 M.COCHRANE2 [Mr.Mikey] (Forwarded) More on the Q-Link debacle. Here's an excerpt from the letter from our pal Steve Case when I resigned my membership. "Since Q-link did not meet your needs, perhaps our other service (AOL) is better suited to your online service needs. AOL contains all the features that brought you to Q-link in the first place..." I wonder if that means that in 10 years AOL will have files corrupted or disappearing, and Steverino won't pound any money into it? M. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 21 Sat Jul 02, 1994 H.STEVENS5 [HaroldOH] (Forwarded) Mr. Mikey, I got that same cockeye letter from Case when I dropped Q-Link. And this was back in February. The last time I spoke with Tom Netsel, the editor of the Gazette disk, and their AOL contact, he told me that it was only a matter of time that Q-Link would be dropped. He also said the only reason it was still going was because it still made money for them, sort of like cash for dessert when the bread and butter dough was coming from AOL. --Harold ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 22 Wed Jul 06, 1994 P.KELLER5 [Knight Rider] (Forwarded) I got that same letter, the same "why not try AOL" crap! What a laugh! I got on my brother's computer to access AOL and wrote e-mail to them asking how much longer Q-Link will last longer. The answer, they don't know, try and ask on Q-Link (I just about died laughing)! ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 23 Mon Oct 31, 1994 GALLANTEER at 23:37 EST Hi Sad news to report - Q-Link is going offline at 7 a.m. EST Nov 1 1994. :( Q-link former names: Chilandra, LadyChills, Lihon & others. Chilandra ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 24 Tue Nov 01, 1994 R.DAY at 18:29 EST Q-link is no more. You call now and after it ask for you name it comes back, "This service is no longer supported. To receive FREE America Online software, please call 1-800-827-6364" I was on at about 1:30 am today. had about 1 1/2 hours free time left. When to super connecshion, it locked up and would not let me get on any more. Does any one have what people last said in the room's just before 7:00 am? It would be nice to see it I think if some one saved that text. There must of been a lot of people on Q-link about 1:20 am it came back and said, "All ports are currently in use. Please try again in a few minutes. Thank you for calling." ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 25 Tue Nov 01, 1994 CMD-DOUG at 21:04 EST I was on from around midnight until 4 AM, when it officially went down. In People Connection, there was a lot of merry banter going on, as well as a lot of 'good-bye' messages flying. While Q used to allow around 2000 users on line a few years ago, it appeared that the limit was closer to 100 last night. According to one of the user's I spoke to in P.C., there were around 70 users in that area itself during the peak times when folks trying to get on the service were being given the 'All ports in use..' messages. I would assume that is where most of the users were congregated, so we surmised that 100 was probably about the maximum number of ports currently assigned to the service. ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 26 Wed Nov 02, 1994 GALLANTEER at 00:45 EST Hi According to that info it sounds like the Qputers are now designated for AOL. :( Chilandra (both here & on Q) ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 27 Wed Nov 02, 1994 R.DAY at 21:20 EST So at around 4:00 am on Q-link did it say something like in 10 minuits the systerm will go down? ------------ Category 8, Topic 12 Message 28 Thu Nov 03, 1994 CMD-DOUG at 00:11 EST It had the same old messages that you normally see before a shut-down, one at 10 minutes before, and a second at 5 minutes before. Both had the standard text proclaiming what time the system would be back on. But we knew it wasn't coming back. ------------ ************ Topic 13 Thu Mar 03, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Sub: GWTERM 4 is coming Discussion of newest version of GWTerm 128 16 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 1 Thu Mar 03, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Well in case anyone here is interested, A new version of GWterm is finally going to be here. I was ready to release about 6 months ago, then school went back into session, and then I got a Swiftlink and High Speed modem so of course had to add support for that. What's new? Well for those who have been asking for it for years, Yes, FINALLY the maps are in color. It now has a rudimentary Upload abuility. Expanded Buffer functions, HOTKEYS, Swiftlink Support up to 38.4k Baud (although when truly at that kinda baud rate you are subject to data loss) Grab and Throw Feature, for quoting text, and to be honest can't remember what else, since I have have not used the last released version in so long, forget what it did and did not have. Future projects at present include as top priority Protocal Expansion to support more than the Standard Xmodem that is currently installed. Possible OVERLAY support, for you hackers out there. REU Support. and a few other tidbits, possibly even MOUSE or JOYSTICK use while playing Global War to select countries. Just as a reminder, this term is not meant to replace the big terminals, but it is great for the Global War Player, and I feel that it is, with this version becoming very adequately capable for the average user, as the User Interface has been improved drastically. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 2 Sun Mar 06, 1994 B.HERRING8 (Forwarded) I just left a msg. asking about gwterm for swiftlink. When will we have it? ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 3 Mon Mar 07, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Well, I am shooting for a release date of April 1, 1994 (and no this is not an april fools joke.) yes this version will support swiftlink and baud rates up to 38.4k. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 4 Sat Mar 19, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Well, after a close call from my Beta Tester.... and a harrowing few days I am still on track for a 4/1 release date. Just gotta get together with him and make sure the bug he found has been squashed. Added a few more features, including being able to view a disk directory from within term mode, and to dial from within term mode. (essentially very little reason to exit term mode to the menu anymore.) Keep an eye out for it, and if you have any suggestions on improvements please LET ME KNOW! I get much more done when I know that someone wants it. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 5 Wed Mar 30, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Well, I am getting ready to do my last compiles before release... barring major complications the file should be here friday night, saturday morning at the latest. I plan on calling it GW4.SFX so keep an eye out. And please leave me feedback if you use it. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 6 Fri Apr 01, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Ok guys, I jus uploaded the latest version. The file is GW4.SFX, as soon as the sysops validate it, it will be here to DL. Sysnopsis of new features: Maps are in color SwiftLink Support Upload Abuility HELP key Much Improved user interface Text grab and throw abuility Improved Buffer functions and a few others. Please DL, enjoy and register :-) And of course report problems ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 7 Mon Apr 04, 1994 R.DAY (Forwarded) 14.4 SwiftLink at $d700 don't work! Other bouds do. But 9600 is the fasted with out missing letters. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 8 Mon Apr 04, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Hmmmm..... You should get 14.4 ok provided data is not continuous nonstop.. However continuous data will cause data loss at the higher baud rates. I plan on addressing this problem in next version. But for normal BBS use 14.4 has worked fine for me for 5 months now.... Thanks for letting me know about the problem, I will see what I can do. Glad to hear that SL works at interface page d700, had no way to test that feature. Thanks for the input. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 9 Tue Apr 05, 1994 R.DAY (Forwarded) I set it to all other bauds and it works but at 14.4 it will not. I am using Datapump. I will try it with the Swiftlink I have and see if 14.4 works then. I tryed to save the Buffter out and it would say file not found. So I never could save it out. Looks like a good term. If you add that things you talked about in the info file it should be very good. Thanks for makeing it work with the SL/DP!!! ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 10 Wed Apr 06, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) So you are saying 14.4 does not work at all on D700? That is extremely weird. I will take a look at it, and see what I can do... but really it should be an all or nothing thing with SL/DP at d700 if one works they all should... Buffer save did not work???? Hmmmmm That is weirder... tIt works fine here..... are you sure you are using buffer save option and not buffer load? ...... Hmmmmmmmm... Glad you like the term hope you find it useful. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 11 Thu Apr 07, 1994 R.DAY (Forwarded) At $D700 or $DE00 only set at 14.4 an at command will not come back with a ok or any thing till I switch to another baud, higher or lower. I tested it with Data pump at $D700 and Swiftlink at $DE00. I have RAMlink too. The Buffer save I tryed it bother ways. The load and save to said it just would come back with file not found with both. My be it is a bad upload or something. Or just someting with my 128. Some one else would have to have a SL/DP with a fast modem and 128 to test this out. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 12 Thu Apr 07, 1994 C.EFTHIMIOU [brat] (Forwarded) hello name here is chris and i just dl gwterm but was wondering if there is any phone#'s that are avaible so i can check out the game of global war on thanks. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 13 Fri Apr 08, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) Well Ray, I am not sure about the problems you are having. Is anyone else having these problems? I know that none of my beta testers are... prehaps Ramlink is conflicting with DP/SL? On the save buffer stuff, I am kinda at a loss My save is a simple open 15,drive #,15,'filename,s,w' to save and if that works from basic... Change those 15's above to 4's I believe... or was it 8? Anyway it is just a standard open sequential file for write, should not come back with the problems you r having... Chris, the biggest board for Global War is JOEL BERGENS board, he is the author of Global War... the number to his board is 206-353-6966 I believe. It is in washington state. If you ask around on your areas local BBS's you might find someplace a little closer to play it. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 14 Fri Apr 08, 1994 C.EFTHIMIOU [brat] (Forwarded) Thanks forgot to ask Is the game automatic with gwterm. By that I mean I do not need a overlay or any thing. Guess I will have to print the docs :) Thanks again for the reply. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 15 Sat Apr 09, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) You need no overlay or anything to take advantage of the GW features of the term. Printing out the docs will essentially give a breif discription of GW and what GWterm does. ------------ Category 8, Topic 13 Message 16 Sun Aug 28, 1994 BADCO (Forwarded) OK, GWterm 5 is in the works!!! So let me tell you guys a little about [C it and get some feedback. I am done with school and have graduated yay and all that rot. And now am finding myself in a coding mood again and so today I sat down and added 4800 BPS support through standard RS232 and a buffer transfer abuility. I am hoping to upgrade the protocals and put in an autodialer for this release. The release has no set release date as I have just started this very day on it. But I figured I would tally the area here for suggestions for the next version. And of course complaints on the current one. So I am all ears here, so lets hear it. ------------ 8 ?
