-----------
All is fine above, but I'll be you forgot to program your modem
to answer the phone. That's normally ATS0=<number of rings, 0 for don't
answer>. See your modem's instruction booklet. Try it from another phone.
You can save memory by reducing the number of sliding window
slots to say 4. More won't be used on such a link. Save time by shortening
packets to say 2KB so that a glitch will have fewer bytes to repeat. Little
is gained abouve 1KB packet lengths (the packet header overhead is small
to begin with).
The server will follow text/binary from MSK 3.14 client, so just
use SET FILE TYPE Binary/Text on the client and the server will obey too.
