Yes Brent, dancing is very important. I personally like to think of breathing
as "just another form of dancing". Sometimes I breathe in 3/4 time, sometimes
in 4/4. Breathing with a partner is fun too!

Can anyone help?

I have a 486 running Interactive Unix that works fine with both the Maestro
2400 XR and the Maestro Data Optimizer, but with the Maestro Super Executive
the UNIX getty process for the SE just hangs. No response is given to the 
remote user. I thought perhaps it had something to do with err. negotiation,
but getty should still be able to cope with this !!!

An alternative to allow a constant speed interface (and other niceties) is 
to use the inittab entry getty replacement program 'modem'.

Again with this properly configured, I can get the XR & the DO to purr. 
But the SE appears to cause a getty (normally spawn'ed by modem upon each
connection) to be (falsely) respawn after a call hangs up, with the result
that all further calls are ignored (until of course I kill the getty process).

The settings I am currently attempting are the factory default with 
the following additions:

		&C1 &D2 &Q6

using a constant speed (19.2K) interface between the PC & the modem.

I suspect that the 'modem' problem may lie with the way the line is dropped on 
hang-up but I've looked at the signals as they change through a breakout box 
with LEDs and I don't seem to find a problem, ie DCD drops then DTR is 
toggled.

Has anyone experienced difficulties in configuring the SE to UNIX ???

Any cures or suggestions at all would be a great help.

The new T200 phones have letters and digits (including Q & Z on the 1 key).
Hmm... QANTAS = 126827. Now if it had been QENTAS they could have got a

Has anyone found that using a modem on an old phone exchange that
supports pulse dialing only is a problem compared to using one
on a newer exchange that supports tone dialing?  I'm on one of those
old pulse dialing exchanges, and it took quite a bit of mucking around
with the modem initialization string to just get the modem to recognize
a dial tone!  Is it common for modems (mine's an Avtek) to not
recognize dialtones on older phone exchanges?  Does anyone know
if TELECOM charges anything to re-connect a phone to a different local
exchange?  Because all the new phones in my area are connected to the new 
exchange, and if it doesn't cost anything and modem performance is better, I'd
like to switch from the old exchange to the new one.

I was just looking through the phone book, and noticed that Taxis Australia,
advertise in the Yellow pages, as dialing "13CABS" i.e. 132227. Somewhere
recently, it was pointed out to me, that IBM's national number is 131IBM.

THis is all, of course, using the U.S. scheme for phone key labellings i.e.
2-ABC, 3-DEF etc. When I was in the U.S., I found this great, I new I could
call, 1-800-DIGITAL for computer sales, or 1-800-BASSPRO for fishing equipment,
and so on.

I'd like to see lettered keypads introduced in Australia, if for nothing else,
to make Mnemonic phone number easier.

Any comments?

Help needed with Infobot "training".

I have acquired the task of writing an application for Infobot.  Have no knowledge of programming and little experience with the Infobot.

The application involves recording callers votes and then later speaking back the vote results (accumulated votes).

Have attempted moving the vote (telephone input field) to an operator field, incrementing the operator field with each new vote and then speaking the operator field to announce results.

The operator field records the first caller's vote, but overwrites with each new call.

Can anyone give advise please?

New Australian phones do have letters on the keyboard. When I asked
someone at Austel if this was an Australian standard they said
"sort of". It appears to be based on the USA system with the few missing

Hi all,

	Do any of you have experience getting V.32 and V.32bis modems
running on SCO Unix?

	I have had some luck with Dataplex [45]96 modems operating at
V.32bis with various combinations of error detection, data compression
and flow control but little luck with Dataplex 225 and Scitec (?) modems.

	Presently I'm undecided whether the problems are with SCO Unix's
new (3.2 version 4) serial device driver (which claims to support
bidirectional h/w flow control via CRTSFL) or with the modems ...

	Any ideas?  Even just information about other setups that work
(or don't work!) would be handy.

Thanks,

Giles
