5. Troubleshooting
==================
NewTech/2 is tested only with my modem and it works.
My modem is Texas Instruments (SmartLink) 33.6 Voice. I write
NewTech/2 for my own use. The VERY big interest for
Voice dialers under OS/2 Warp (my favourite OS) take me to
rewrite NewTech/2 as a complete OS/2 Warp application
(version 2.0).
I test my program with ZiXEL Voice modem and I can not
inizialize modem after OS/2 startup using NewTech/2.
There is a simple trick to crack this problem. You must inizialize
modem (type ATZ) with some OS/2 terminal (HyperACCESS or ZOC)
before use NewTech/2. I realy do not understand this problem.
Maybe I must rewrite NewTech/2 communication engine... again!
6. Other
========
The year was 1997, country Bulgaria, city Sofia,
...In fact my friend Rossen Assenov and I complete two defferent
Voice Dialers for OS/2 at a same time:
- NewTech/2, version 2.02 is my program
- VoiceDialer/2, version 2.00 is Ross's program
We discuss many problems in develop...and I must say...
Many thanks to Ross for help and testing NewTech/2.
(By the way you can read this in VoiceDialer/2
readme.txt file but for me! from my friend)
Many thanks to SpeedSoft prgrammers for Sibyl 2.0
(http://www.ndrh.de/~speed/). NewTech/2 is a child of Sibyl!
It's written in Sibyl compiler version 2.0
SpeedSoft Sibyl is a greate development tool for OS/2.
(maybe Borland Delphi for Windows is so good as SpeedSoft Sibyl)
