- - <grin> I just did not want to have to hook the USR modem up to an
- - "Irritatingly Bothersome Machine (IBM)"
- -
- - Actually, I am using the USR on my Geneve, not a TI... the TI is capable of
- - doing high speed file transfers, but would get hopelessly bogged on screen
- - access at speeds exceeding 9600 baud...
- -
- - What is needed is for Charles Earl to release the source code to TELCO,
- - so that people can modify it for the hardware flow control, etc.
- -
- - By the way, one does not need hardware flow control, unless you are either
- - (A) using a streaming protocol (i.e. Ymodem-G-Batch), or trying to capture
- - continuous ASCII, and your modem can't be programmed for XON/XOFF. (this is
- - the "flow control" that TELCO uses... it only works during logging to disk.)
- - Also, the Circular interrupt on a TI can't keep up above about 2400-4800
- - baud, (or 9600 if you try to use the CIB for a file xfer).
- -
- - Bottom line... there is no reason the TI cannot be used with a high speed
- - modem... just a matter of writing the software to do it.

- SO. Your saying that if, say, I, was able to get Charles to release the
- source to Telco, that you would work it over for us all? That we might be
- able to use MNP 5 and .42bis tec.. with our TI-99/4A's???
-
- Well Barry? Cause we need what Joe in a previous message was talking
- about. Up dated Telco, 24 pin/laser driver support etc... And it happens
- that, well, your a brain! We need your brain!
