- Yikes... damn.. AMODEM really IS "BobTerm, but in BASIC"!!! (I got
- version 4.something from the archive, and version 7.52 from a BBS last
- night. It was described as "having all the features as BobTerm, but in
- BASIC"... which, amazingly enough, it DOES! I wish I would've gotten
- this long ago instead of version 4.x!! I used some of the routines in
- 4.x as a base for my modem-using programs. It's not a bad start, but like
- I posted earlier, I had to make a GOSUB'd routine to handle all the "all
- the time" things (clock, chat mode, etc) and then jump to it all the
- time! AMODEM has an ML routine doing it!
-
- One drawback though... I (legally) can't use much from v.7.52 because
- it's NOT PD... So I guess I made that clock handler before i got
- it! haha...
-
- Anyways.. for a good hack, i recommend AMODEM 7.52(or higher...!?)
-
- I'll (evENTUALLY) see if I can upload it to the archive (to get that
- place up to date! ;) )..
-
- oh, one more drawback.... using MyDOS 4.53/4, BASIC (rev.C?), SX Handler
- (by Trent Dudley...same guy I beleive..?), (and with Hyper E: v.2
- installed.. it takes a K or 2), it only has a 2K buffer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
