to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/CBBS LOGON DELAYS
|
|
|
|
Sorry, I can't explain why things would be any different. Could it
|
|
be something MNP related? I notice that I sometimes fail to connect
|
|
after having my modem set for MNP and call a non-MNP system, even though
|
|
the HST documents the AT&M4 as being one that will establish MNP if it
|
|
can but go ahead anyway if it can't; &M5 is the one that hangs up if
|
|
no MNP is established.
|
|
Sorry for the troubles.

No, they were looking for 4800 UDSs for use with PC Anywhere and
|
|
other strictly PC-PC uses. Specifically, they want to be able to
|
|
support remote Token Ring networks, by having PC Anywhere able to
|
|
call into the server. I told them I didn't know if it would work
|
|
but that for the $ they were spending they could be going 9600 instead
|

of 4800.

Yes, I suspect that was it; the users are, uh, non-technical at best.

And cursor sluggishness is the #1 user-appreciable symptom of "something

I did not like Werner Linder's reply to Thomas Stutesman. It seems to

me that a; any programmer, no matter how good, can get stuck upon

occasion, and that asking for help is far better than most alternatives;
|
|
and b; this board is used mainly for passing such questions and answers.

not be offended if you delete this messqage.

Jim, we've got 3 IBM token ring cards for sale, with the IBM PC LAN software
|
|
and multi-station access unit (connection device). While speed may
|
|
not be important, this will give you compatability with the most popular

stuff and performance better than that of the software driven LANs. Call

Scott @ 312-382-2305 i you're interested.

The current US Robotics HST has a synchronous mode. It's nt compatible

with Bell 208's but it can work synch HST to HST.

Msg 41596 is 07 line(s) on 03/29/89 from MIKE ANDREWS
|
|
to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/CBBS LOGON DELAYS
|
|
|
|
There may be slight delay while the HST waits to hear the MNP request.
|
|
The MNP request only occurs when the MNP modem is ORIGINATING. Otherwise,
|
|
it's transparent to the calling modem. There's a burst of binary data
|
|
after the connection is made. That's why some systems like Randy's
|
|
get upset when a MNP modem calls - the MNP request it read as off-speed
|
|
characters and it goes to a diffent baud rate to match. Some systems
|
|
lock up entirely on receipt of the MNP burst.

to ERIC BOHLMAN re: R/XMODEM CRC
|
|
|
|
One more question -
|
|
|
|
The High CRC is the CRC Valuse of the first byte sent and the Low CRC
|
|
is the value of the CRC Value at the end of the Block?
|
|
|
|
Also, thos numbers you used, are they the same for any block size? Or
|
|
would the 256 change to 1024 when using a 1k block?

Connect IS probably MNP related. I have MNP and have yet to read the

1) The significance of 4129 is that it's 1021 hex, which is actually
|
|
the divisor used in the polynomial computation (or so I understand).
|
|
|
|
2) I believe the standard has the CRC value going out low-byte-first,
|
|
high-byte-second ("Intel" order). The computation method doesn't change
|
|
with block size.

dup. chars.

to MIKE ANDREWS re: R/CBBS LOGON DELAYS
|
|
When I was testing the new code here at home with my PC and a Hayes 2400
|
|
(they donate modems, too!) on my receive end, my CBBS logons wouldn't work
|
|
because the HST was trying to establish ARQ, and those characters were
|
|
taken as the "any 3 chars" that are supposed to let CBBS NOT blast at you
|
|
until you're ready.
|
|
Thus, by the time the HST was letting CBBS back at me, it was half way
|
|
down the welcome and I had missed the logon date and time message (look
|
|
at the first lines CBBS sent on your session today).
|
|
But of course this is not a problem, as I would just do an AT&M0 before
|
|
initiating a call to a system that I knew not to be ARQ.
|
|
Summarizing the problems with the HST: the delays necessary while doing
|
|
modem initialization strings were the hardest thing to handle, as it changed
|
|
virtually every logon script I had. I finally went to a "subroutine" that
|
|
does pattern matching on the "OK<return>" in order to keep the modem from
|
|
choking on commands that the older Couriers could easily handle. THEN
|
|
I found all the places that by GONG to the "OK" pattern subroutine, blew
|
|
the patterns I'd previously established. It took I would say "a lot of
|
|
time" to get the scripts to where they are reasonably reliable. I'd really
|
|
be curious to know why in this ONE area things took such a big step
|
|
backwards compared to previous USRs. The modem is absolutely outstanding
|
|
in all other characteristics.
|
|
BTW, went to visit the CTA yesterday, and found several day-old HSTs
|
|
being used for the Carbon Copy Plus application, and working just fine.
|
|
They had IBM modems before, and couldn't get them to work reliably. I'm
|
|
sure there was some AT command that wasn't 100% compatible with the various
|
|
modems that CC+ could select.
|
|
They'll be using the modems to maintain the remote LANS in the garages
|
|
from the central site at Merchandise Mart.

This board is for programmers helping programmers. Not all of us were
|
|
born with programming experience like you apparently were. We have to
|
|
start somewhere.
|
|
People often have to earn money while they learn. The best consultants
|
|
I know are the ones who say yes to the impossible jobs then go seeking the
|
|
knowledge necessary to get the job done.
|
|
I was once thrown into a CARD RPG PAYROLL situatin with no knowledge.
|
|
I learned the language and system, found who at the customer was competent
|
|
to DESIGN the system, then programmed it. They were satisfied, (I didn't
|
|
say "thrilled"). If all you do is do what you know how to do, it is a
|
|
pretty narrow world. And if you don't dare seek expertise except with your
|
|
wallet extended, you don't understand what computer clubs, bulletin boards,
|
|
etc, are all about.
|
|
There are exceptions: someone used a public-access Unix system (Chinet)
|
|
to compile a commercial maintenance release of their software, without
|
|
asking. A big fuss was made over this. On one hand there were no published
|
|
restrictions on what you COULD or could NOT do on chinet; on the other
|
|
hand the user should have asked anyway.
|
|
I reaize where you're coming from with lots of experience, but tell me,
|
|
didn't you EVER go in over your head, and seek some advice - without
|
|
paying - from anyone?
|
|
I'm writing this msg partly in response to # 41591, which you might want
|
|
to read.

Ooh, you're WAY out of line! I see you used the phrase:
|
|
"You peddle yourself to some company as a software jock". He didn't
|
|
say that. He said "The company I work for needs.".
|
|
Hells bells, if I didn't use the BBS's to find out that Foxbase was
|
|
better than Dbase, and that Foxbase had an unlimited run-time license,
|
|
we'd still be writing programs in BASIC because we couldn't afford all
|
|
the DBASE licenses! This way we're porting applications "all over the
|
|
place", and - literally - if I'd not used bulletin boards to SEEK
|
|
EXPERTISE I DIDN'T HAVE, I wouldn't have found out.
|
|
OTOH, if this is a personal thing between you and Stutesman - i.e. he
|
|
took a job you were applying for and at half the rate, then please keep
|
|
your personal issues with him private (and this board has no private
|
|
messages, hint hint).

to WARD re: ASYNC VS SYNC
|
|
|
|
just a note of the different worlds of modems.
|
|
in the ASYNC mode, the UART in the terminal adds the start, stop, and parity
|
|
bits and also provides the clocking/speed for the bits to hit the wire.
|
|
in the SYNC world, ALL timing comes from the modem itself. It uses extra
|
|
pins in the RS-232 connector to send a timing pulse to the terminal, and
|
|
then wait for it come come back with a data bit slaved to the timing pulse.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, u can't just plug a SYNC modem into a ASYNC terminal (or DTE)
|
|
and have it work. nor can u plug a ASYNC modem into a 3780, 3174 or
|
|
whatever and have it work. unless the modem supports BOTH worlds and it
|
|
must be configured for which mode it is to operate in.

hi joe, i left a msg on your phone machine also, but need to add a note
|
|
the chip works perfectly (and FAST!) SYGRAPH plots produce in about
|
|
1/3 the time they used to, and number crunching really zips.
|
|
one thing i forgot to do was give you a copy of the receipt (for warranty
|
|
purposes) and let you know that MicroWay also provides their own one
|
|
year warranty on math chips (i think that's mentioned in the literature
|
|
that came with the chip. If you want a copy of the invoice, let me
|
|
know and i'll send it to you. Also, if you still have the receipt
|
|
from my chip, i'd like a copy for the warranty.
|
|
finally, thanks again for helping me out w/ all this!

to WARD ET AL re: DISK LOGGING IN MS-DOS 3.30
|
|
|
|
Apparently, I am not the only one with this problem: MS-DOS 3.30
|
|
does not always recognize disk changes. I have not been able to force
|
|
disk changes in the disk utilities I have and use. Sometimes using ^C
|
|
(shades of CP/M!) will force it to reread a directory, sometimes even
|
|
warmbooting the system will not effect a re-read! Anyone know of any
|
|
bug fixes? I guess I can go back to Dos 3.2, but some of its enhancements
|
|
are useful. Could it be the activation of the machinery necessary to
|
|
support "FASTOPEN"?
|
|
See also my next message.

Thanks.

to ALL re: DR DOS/EZ DOS 4.0
|
|
|
|
Does any vendor sell DR Dos or the EZ Dos package (contains
|
|
DR Dos, Top Dos, and GEM/3)? I've seen it bundled with new systems
|
|
and only once at a ham fest (Wheaton/Villa Park Odeum), for $69.
|
|
Though I sometimes loathe his opinion, John Dvorak praised DR Dos
|
|
in a PC Mag column, saying it ran anything he had for MS-Dos, was
|
|
ROMable, and was freshly written, not suffering the downward
|
|
compatability bugs of MS-Dos. It is reputed to be MS-Dos 3.30
|
|
compatable. Does it have the disk logging bug mentioned in my
|
|
previous message?
|
|
I also see that MS-Dos 3.30 uses IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM instead
|
|
of the MSDOS.SYS and IO.SYS of 3.2 and 3.1-does this mean the COMMAND
|
|
interpreter may be at fault, since it is written by MicroSoft?
|
|
If you know of a source or sell DR Dos or EZ Dos 4.0, leave a message
|
|
here or call 587-6057 after 7PM weekdays.
|
|
Thanks.
