- I was wondering if I could get some help with the following problem.
-
- My system is a - 486-33 with 16 megs memory
- - OS/2 2.0 with the Service Pack and
- using SIO & VSIO v026, X00 v149a as fossil
- for each node.
- - Two nodes running RA v.1.11 using two
- internal 2400 baud modems on COM1 & COM2
- standard IRQ's and addresses.
- - another node (not up) using an external 2400
- baud modem (will switch to my 14,400 when the
- node works <grimace>). This third node is
- COM3, IRQ5.
-
- In the Config.sys is(SIO v1.31 and 1.34 triedwith same result):
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\SIO.SYS (1,3F8,4) (2,2F8,3) (3,2E8,5)
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\VSIO.SYS
-
- CALL=C:\OS2\MODE.COM COM1:2400,N,8,1,,TO=OFF,XON=OFF,IDSR=ON,ODSR=ON,
- <cont'd this line> OCTS=ON,DTR=ON,RTS=ON
- <the same thing for COM2 and COM3>
-
- In each nodes batch files (X00 v1.49)
- NODE 1: X00 E 1 B,0,2400
- NODE 2: X00 E 1 B,1,2400
- NODE 3: X00 2=2E8,5 B,2,2400 F=15 T=4096 R=4096
-
- I've also tried activating X00 via Dos Device in the boxes Dos settings.
- On the node that won't work the initialization string is:
- AT L0 H0 S0=0 X4 V1 M3|
- My problem:
-
- Once I have the third node's port set up and run RA it won't
- initialize the modem. The modem panel lights up the send and
- receive data indicators as it gets the initialization
- instructions from RA but it just doesn't work. I can't figure
- this one (probably something simple I am missing. Any help in
- resolving these problems would be appreciated (note, I am not
- interested in switching BBS software right now)
- I seem to be able to set Auto Answer on or off via the
- initialization which makes me think that RA isn't getting the
- "modem ready" command or it isn't being sent to RA.
