The succeeding text intended to be something more coherent than
a laundry list of my attempts to resolve a connection issue.
>From this vantage, though, it's all useful information and I
realize that it's the big picture that _I'm missing.
_________
I'm currently engaged in deploying an application that utilizes
the latest version of K95. Of the 300 sites, we're in about 50.
2 of these sites are unable to reliably connect to their
intended server, but share a common pattern that perhaps you'll
recognize.
If we first connect to the server with HyperTerminal, K95 will
execute the script and perform like a champ. If not, it will
fail in various ways--either "you must set port or host..." or
"no carrier detected" are popular.
The text I've read concerning K95cinit.exe seems like it might
be related, but there's a number of variations:
1) One machine is Windows ME--the text suggests it's
a Windows 9x problem.
2) We've tried connections (on both machines) using
TAPI as well as port and modemtype, but the results
are invariant.
3) The difficulty that K95cinit was intended to resolve, is no
longer an issue with K95. (Fixed bug 79, maybe)
A copy of K95cinit is enroute to the difficult sites, and we
should be able to see if this replicates whatever HyperTerminal
is doing.
Also, line quality checks are being performed. In both cases,
though, these workstation have recently (within 3 months)
transmitted data to a different server using a different client
application.
Kermit-95 is being invoked with a ShellExecute:
K95 -# 26
and is being monitored in a lazy (3 sec) loop by
GetExitCodeProcess().
Some specifics (tell me what would help and I'll get it):
Machine 1
Windows 98
External US Robotics 56K
no weird peripherals
sufficient hd and memory
Machine 2
Windows ME
Internal Telepath X2 (winmodem)
no weird peripherals
sufficient hd and memory
Here's a typical tapi-style script that I'm using (the rest is
boilerplate login and swap files stuff):
; Account Configuration
define \%n 1-877-222-2222
define \%u yyyyyyy
define \%p xxxxxxx
; Modem Configuration
set modem type none
set tapi line Creative_Modem_Blaster_Flash56_PCI_DI5630-4
set modem type tapi
