Heh heh, if you've never seen a BBS like this, it is because you've never
|
|
before called the worlds first and oldest BBS. Using this system kind of
|
|
reminds me of riding around a pasture in a friend's grandfather's Model A
|
|
Ford. In other words, little has been done to 'modernize' CBBS, but on
|
|
the other hand, when learned, there are few BBSs that can be used more

quickly and efficiently - little "fat" here.

back to RECONSTRUCTING the appropriate source to 'match what is running

with lack of interrupts however, but hopefully I'll know before the

|
|
|
Well, just completed my first MNP call at 2400! Unfortunately, the
|
|
delays due to MNP menat my sign-on came in as "Wad Chr.", so I'll have
|
|
to make some changes before I put that version online.
|
|
Unfortunately, it didn't allow a 9600 baud call! I initialize the modem
|
|
at 2400, and wait for the result codes, and I'm testing for all the
|
|
codes in the "teens" - and setting to 9600 if I see the ARQ or non-ARQ
|
|
9600 baud answer.
|
|
I'm calling with mine with AT&M5, at 9600, but when a connection is
|
|
made, I get "Connect ARQ/2400", not 9600.
|
|
I recall you saying I should be at 19,200 baud, but that's not
|
|
practical from the setup I currently have on CBBS, should I try sending
|
|
the commands and awaiting results at 9600? Must be modem be at the
|
|
highest speed to be able to connect at the highest speed?
|
|
Thanks!

to ALL re: RS-232 HELP

|
|
I recently purchased a Mr. Mox modem operated switch for my bbs. It is
|
|
activated by the carrier detect signal. At that point, it turns it self on
|
|
for at least 1.5 minutes as long as carrier detect is present. This all works
|
|
fine and dandy, except that it takes too long for the computer to power up
|
|
and load the required driver software. It would be nice if I could rig
|
|
a way to have the computer begin power up on the first ring. My question is
|
|
could I simply connect the ring indicator to the carrier detect line of
|
|
the modem and run them both to the carrier detect in my modem tap for the Mr
|
|
Mox or must I design an OR gate and send that result to the CD line?
|
|
If I must design the OR gate circuit, are the voltage levels on the
|
|
RS-232 signals sufficient to drive the circuit?

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/HST 9600
|
|
|
|
You have to have CBBS send the ATA at 9600. The modem will not connect at
|
|
a spped above the port rate it detects (no place to put all the extra data).
|
|
It don't think you'll need an interrupt. You only need a 19,200 port rate to
|
|
get data compression or 14.4. If you don't lock with &B1 it'll match the
|
|
port to the connect rate (like the 2400 did) and you won't get 14.4 connects.
|
|
No sweat, you ain't doing file transfers anyway.
|
|
|
|
BTW, to see YOUR modem fly set your PC to 38,400 do a AT&B&1&H1&W. Disable
|
|
auto-baud rate change in your com program, enable RTS/CTS hardware flow
|
|
control. Call USR's PC Board system 982-5274 (i think). You should get a

This week I've been calling the Canda Remote BBS with my 9600 HST and getting
|
|
THREE megabytes of new files in an hour and a half. 360K takes about
|
|
3-4 minutes. About as fast as a disk copy on some machines. I got 1100cps
|
|
all the time. Have fun!

|
|
|
|
RS-232 signal lines are specified as being from -5 to -25v, and
|
|
from +5 to 25V, so they are not "TTL" compatible (when you said "OR"
|
|
I presume you meant the TTL function).
|
|
You could probably diode-OR the two lines together i.e. in such
|
|
a way that CD and ring don't interfere with each other, while allowing
|
|
either to be seen by your 'box'.

HEY! CBBS - 9600 baud! Know what was wrong? While I was manually
|
|
setting the speed to 9600, and I set AT&M5, my SCRIPT for calling was
|
|
setting AT&M0 because the old CBBS didn't recognize the ARQ connect
|
|
codes.
|
|
So, everything looks pretty good now - contrary to what you said,
|
|
I am able to initialize the modem at 2400 (i.e. no changes from
|
|
before, and the extended connect codes come in at 2400; causing me
|
|
to switch to 9600, which then handles the call OK. However, without
|
|
interrupt driven receive, it is nearly impossible to key into CBBS.
|
|
I am now keying at a rate of about 5 characters per second, determined
|
|
by an automatic buffer delay in my commo program. Setting it much
|
|
faster causes characters to be lost.
|
|
I picked up a little interrupt-driven RS-232 INT 14 replacement
|
|
from compuserve, because, like the standard INT 14, I don't think it
|
|
sends chars if CD is not present, but what I'm wanting to DO is to
|
|
issue ATA. (my philosophy is to ATS0=0 and ATA so if CBBS isn't
|
|
working, the modem won't be answering the phone making people pay
|
|
for non-working calls.
|
|
You know what "ERA" could be opened up by the great HST modems?
|
|
The ability to have REMOTE devices! It would be practical for ex.
|
|
to have CBBS's drive to be drive G: on my system, using the 9600!
|
|
Perhaps you should bring this idea to the attention of Guy Gordon
|
|
of Brooklyn Bridge (White Crane Systems) or Mark Eppley of Travelling
|
|
Software. I'm `friends' with both of them; talk to Eppley every
|
|
month or two on Compuserve; (He's very busy so I don't bug him).
|
|
What do you think? A remote-bridge! Heck, I could back up CBBS
|
|
from here - easier than getting Randy to do it (grin). (Atchally
|
|
I should re-write CBBS in "C" and run it on Chinet)

to ALL re: CBBS TESTING 9600 AND ARQ
|
|
|
|
I have put a version of CBBS online that is PARTIALLY supporting 9600
|
|
baud and ARQ.
|
|
I say "partially" because the input is not interrupt driven. My own
|
|
logon script caused characters to be lost because the modem is sending
|
|
in small 'packets' of characters due to MNP and ARQ. At 9600, it is
|
|
nearly impossible to send ANYTHING - you have to type at about 5-10
|
|
characters per second. For example, with YAM there is a character
|
|
'throttle' (slow-down) command, and I have to set it to about 140,
|
|
while normally I'd go with 8 or less.
|
|
I am looking at an interrupt driven INT 14 replacement, and when
|
|
that goes online, CBBS should be able to handle the speeds much faster.
|
|
For some reason, perhaps the dual-console I/O (to the screen and modem)
|
|
as well as the overhead of V-20 8080 emulation running on a 4.77MHz PC,
|
|
a memory dump at 9600 baud resulted in only 350 CPS, not a lot more than
|
|
the 210 CPS experienced with 2400. (I tried 2400 with and without ARQ,
|
|
and they seemed to be identical in speed, but I got some line noise bursts
|
|
at 2400 without MNP, (or ARQ - not sure of the terms! Is ARQ a USR
|
|
term?).
|
|
SO, if you have an MNP modem, feel free to try it at 1200 or 2400,
|
|
and if you want to "just see what it is like" (perhaps "how bad it is")
|
|
try 9600.
|
|
Oops, I haven't tried calling in at 1200 MNP, but I presume it would
|
|
work OK.
|
|
Thanks to USR for these great modems - hope I can get to the interrupt
|
|
driven stuff soon, but a big project coming up mid-next-week will put
|
|
all other things on the back burner for about 8 days.
|
|
Other than the loss of input characters when sending too fast under
|
|
MNP, let me know of any experiences you feel I should know of.

Hi Ward. well, sounds like i may have to redo that portion of hashing the
|
|
user file. I dont want to loose any people in the user file, as i have
|
|
passwords assigned (they picked them) and once i have verified them,
|
|
i dont want to loose any one that was verified. hmm. guess i should
|
|
take a week off as vacation and look into the code. have seen the
|
|
users name "become lost" in the user log. have had users with passwords
|
|
become lost after awhile of use. so, either i fix it, or replace
|
|
the code with the original stuff (user routines that is). so- 4.0.1.

Gee, that's too bad - I'm forgetting - did we chat about this at some
|
|
previous time? What have you done with the hashing routine that
|
|
makes it "loose" (sic) people? Or did you find something wrong with
|
|
my original routine, when certain parms (file size?) are picked?
|
|
The technique I would use would be to write a little program that
|
|
reads the old file, and re-hashes into a new file.
|
|
By the way, did you know that if you want to double the user file
|
|
size, you can just use an editor to copy it to itself? Gee, now I'm
|
|
forgetting why that works, I think the users will hash either to the
|
|
first half or second half, but in the same relative position as when
|
|
the file was half as large. Only problem is with passwords the un-used
|
|
entries won't be deleted. Hmmm.

You'll need to work out some sort of one-shot circuit; the ring indicator
|
|
line will go on and off during the ringing cycle. You could use a 555
|
|
timer and some transistors for level translation. The period of the one-s-
|
|
shot should be around 15 seconds; this will give you a steady output as
|
|
long as the phone continues to ring, and will drop reasonably quickly if
|
|
the caller hangs up before connection is established.
|
|
|
|
Needless to say, when using this option you shouldn't set your modem to
|
|
auto-answer; have the system to tell it to answer once it wakes up (other-
|
|
wise you may time out your modem's carrier detect).
