Subject: BaudBandit.Device...does it work?
Date: 25 Jan 93 16:42:40 GMT
Organization: Imaging Systems Division, NCR Corp, Waterloo, Ont., CANADA

I am using a USRobotics 16.8k Dual Standard (no Fax) with JRComm V1.02a (and
patiently waiting for Terminus) and am having problems with error free
transfers if I set JRComm at anything above 19,200. It has been suggested that
the serial.device is incapable of supporting any speed above 19,200 and that I
should use the BaudBandit.device. (BTW, I have WB2.04 in ROM if it matters).

Question is this....Will BaudBandit.device allow me to increase to a setting
of 38,400 (or higher) with no errors? Or, worded differently, does
BaudBandit.device actually work like the docs says it does? I would be
interested in hearing from anyone whom has had experience with this prog,
either positively OR negatively. I have versions 1.2, 1.4, and 1.4c available
locally. Is 1.4c the latest released version?

E-mail is best and I will post a summary if anyone wants...Thanx!

Hi all!
I am having troubles with a Supra modem. It is a 9600bps Faxmodem. (v32,
not v32bis.)
The problem is that it will occasionally just disconnect. There is no
indication of line noise, and no errors show on the modem. (At least
none are there by the time I have glanced up at it.)
I will just be merrily telecommunicating along, and CLICK, follow by "no
carrier". Any Ideas?
TIA,

   Right.  However, you'll need the XPR Kermit library since it will
not be supported internally.

I am looking for a program that allows reading News and or Mail

take it home and read it with this reader.

Anybody knows such a proggy ?

Have you even looked at the protocol?
You seem to draw an awful lot of conclusions on the future of hobby tele-
communications just because a name is included in a text file somewhere.

Right. We might now actually have a GOOD protocol become POPULAR. Ordinary,
this would have been a Good Thing (tm) but since a certain name is mentioned
it's all of a sudden a disaster...

I bid you welcome to design a better one. I shall happily support you in your
work and in the spreading of the protocol.
Until you have released such a protocol, however, I would personally
appreciate arguments concerning the procotol's pros and cons and not the
authors'.

Of course. And mine.

I'm the author of quip and I'd love to help you out here.
What problems do you exactly have with the message viewer?
Please describe them a bit longer, so I can reproduce and fix them.

At the moment I can only think of the fact that the message viewer
doesn't have a text reflow routine, so you get 'ugly' output if
the text does have line breaks instead of paragraph breaks and the
lines are a bit longer than what fits in the display.

You can work around this by making the display bigger (resize the
quip window, pehaps use an overscanned screen) or using a smaller
font (or a proportional one like helvetica instead of a fixed-width
typeface).

Perhaps the next release of quip might help you, too. It will have
a faster message display, but don't expect reflow yet. So what
might fix your problem is the fact that you can configure the next
release to use an external messageviewer like More, Muchmore,
Multiview etc. instead of the builtin one.

>What I would like to know is if there are better QWK mail readers out there
>(I can't use ftp sites) or, in particular, later versions of Q-Blue and
>Quip.

I'm afraid it might still take some time for the next release,
as I'm currently involved in several other projects, too. A stable
beta version of the software is finished, but the new rewritten
manual is still in the works.

As usual, the new version will be distributed on the AMINET,
that is amiga.physik.unizh.ch and its mirrors.

This is a sure sign that your DTE (computer to modem) rate is set too
high.  What do you have the serial port set to?  I found that my
unaccellerated A500 running AmigaDOS 1.3 could only do 19200 bps before
I got the CRC errors, and even then I got one or two.  Under AmigaDOS
2.1 I can *almost* hit 38400, but it's a lot better if I leave it at
19200.

It'll help if you enable JR-Comm's "turbo" setting, and if you set the
task priority up high.  Under 1.3 I had JR-Comm's priority set at 15.
Under 2.1 the serial device is enough faster that I can get away with
leaving the priority set at 0.

Jack has a section on high-speed modems in the Userguide.  Read that,
it's got some good tips in it.

There is a program called TWIN which allows a 115K connection between a PC
and an Amiga.  It is not a file server but it allows rapid transfer of files
between the two machines.  I don't think DNET can be compiled on a PC.  
There are versions of SLIP for the PC.  I don't know where you would find it
but it might work with AmigaNOS.
