- I've sent a copy of this to a couple people, with no solutions yet.
- I've lost Greg Perry's new email address, so if you are reading this GP,
- I'd sure like a solution! If someone could email the correct address for
- GPFax email contact, I'd appreciate it, too.
-
- I really need to get GPFax and CNet working together, so GPFax can act as
- the front end.
- Here's the file w/ the details...
- Email replies best, as there is 4 day delay on my newsfeed.
-
- thanks!

- ------------------------------------------------------------
- I'm having no luck getting GPFax and CNet to tranfer calls between
- them.
-
- Here's my pertinent CNET modem settings:
-
- 8N1
- idle baud 19200
- shared (also tried locked)
-
- GPFAX is run in locked mode ( if not locked, it will reset the modem port
- speed to the speed of the call, upon receipt of a data call, and prior to
- running datacall.gpf script(?) as per the docs. fax/data mode on, arexx
- data mode on.
-
- I'm using MFCIII card, prefs set to 19200 RTS/CTS.
-
- here's the datacall.gpf, the rexx script uns on receipt of a
- data call. I tried it as per the original script ( port 0) but since
- port zero is for local only, I've changed the bbswake port to 1. Nothing
- happens regardless of what I set.
-

- New SYSOPs: You should first start CNet and make sure that Port 0

-
- Here's the snoopdos.log of a data call, that is transferred to the bbs by
- gpfax. looks like it works, trouble is, cnet doesn't ever wake up!
- bbswake looks like it exits w/ an error, but no calls have been made that
- fail! Sorry it wrapped kinda funny.
- This call was with CNet modem turned to shared AND locked. But same thing
- happens for all combos of shared/locked in cnet/config/modem.
-
- GPFax seems like it should be in "locked" mode, as that way it keeps the
- modem at the DTE rate when xferring the call to CNet- if GPfax not in
- locked mode, it will reset the modem to the speed of the connect before
- calling the datacall.gpf AREXX script.
