<groan> It is NOT A BACKDOOR as Guy Bartoli and others have expressed

It's a BUG in the software, of which I don't think would be appropriate for

I have had Supra's ram card, their modems and controller's w/
hd and they have all worked flawlessly!

Thier tech support is second to none and customer service is 
fantastic.

There was a letter a couple months ago in the back cover of an
Amigaworld issue where a fellow had numerous problems with his
Supra controller and hd. They told him to send it back and they
would replace it. He did not want to be w/o his hd so waited.
Three days later a BRAND NEW HD arrived via UPS from Supra.
That is SUPPORT!!!

Very interesting!  I just recently installed a CMI/DigiFeX MultiPORT
and had a serial port crash that may well have been because of this!

Do you have any further details about the cause of this?  The parallel
port consists of 10 output signals, 1 input signal, 9 grounds and 1 +5 volt.
What can the un-powered printer do to these lines to cause problems?

I'm hoping for a solution that doesn't involve a switch box.  Not having
to screw around with such things was part of the reason for the board,
after all.

Maybe you (or anyone else out there) can answer a couple of questions
about the serial ports?

First, does DTR work on the DB-9 port?  I tried connecting my modem to
it, and it didn't see it.

Second, the HSK lines on the 8 pin mini-DIN: my understanding of the
MAC serial port is that HSKo can be DTR or RTS, and HSKi can be DSR
or CTS (or something like that, I don't know much about MACs).  What
do they do here?

Subject: V.32bis <-> 14.4 Dual HST problems
Organization: OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc.
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1992 15:37:29 GMT

I'm having problems connecting my v.32bis modem to 14.4 Dual HSTs.  The
symptoms are as follows.  I always get a 'connect 14400' message and sometimes
I get garbage immediately and then a 'no carrier' message or I just go
straight to 'no carrier'.

It seems that I can connect to the 16.8 Dual HSTs at 14400.  First I get the
'connect 14400' message then the protocol info like arq/lapm and I think
v.42bis, and then into the board.

I have my modem set with s37=0 (connect speed default) %E1 (retrain).

Of course, the fact that the three boards that I can connect to are dual 16.8s
and the several boards that fail are dual 14.4s could be a coincidence, but it
is consistent the boards that I can connect to always work and I can never
connect to the others.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes.  I had the problem.  

But, I only saw it happen with 2.4.  Since I've installed 2.4a, I haven't

This one's the problem. The password cannot be piped in using regular pipes.
What works is using Matt's fifo-handler. If I remember correctly, you can get
it to work by sending the password followed by a return (rather than a linefeed).

Hey, am I the only one that got his Supra working fine right out of the 
box?
Usually I'm not that lucky...

The fact is: I bought a Supra v32bis faxmodem by mail order (ordered it
from a US company from Europe - quite risky). I *never* had the slightest
problem! Connects reliably at 14400, never looses carrier, even when the 
line
is very noisy (other than the US Robotics I've installed at work, because 
I insisted to buy a "brand with reputation") and throughput is high.
(When downloading *compressed* files from a BBS 100 miles away with 9600 
bps
and MNP5 (all they offer) I constantly get between 1000 and 1050 cps which
I think is very good.)

The only problem I had: The modem was shipped with a 110V power adapter.
I tried to replace it by a 220V unit: No chance, all data was garbled. 
Now I use it with the original 110V adapter and a _big_ 220V to 110V 
transformer. Obviously the modem is *very* vulnerable to fluctuations of 
the AC power - might it be that THIS is your problem?

I must mention that I'm using the modem only to place calls, never tried it 

in answering mode.

It is Very good when setup properly. I've mailed you my nos-startup file, and

It IS possible to ftp, telnet, ping, nntp, smtp all at the same time.

I should toss in my experience here:  I use Vt100 as a term program and
switch to sz or rz when I need to transfer files.  Using BaudBandit.device 
installed via QuickFix, sz and rz roll over and die.

I have just been notified that yet another bogus `term' revision has
come into circulation. The suspicious file is called "term25e1.lha"
and should be removed wherever it is found.

   Listen, guys & gals: this is getting very annoying. People keep asking
why I did not send them the "2.5 update", which bugs were fixed with
"v2.5", what new features were introduced in "v2.5", why "v2.5" would
not work with their computer and terminal setup. There are limits to
my patience, the next revision may be a commercial-only release, may no
longer include the source code, may require an '030 CPU or Kickstart 3.0
to run.

   There will be no v2.5 and no v2.5[a..z] patches. The next revision will
bear an entirely different version number, but I am not going to tell
anyone which one.

   No escape sequences in the file. Did I mention that the capture filter

Actually, that's "ftp.slac.stanford.edu" now, and I must confess that I haven't

The cable that you need is a serial cable with the Apple DIN plug on one
end and a standard DB-25 on the other.  Since the ImageWrite is a serial
printer, you'll have to hook it up to your serial port and tell 
prefrences that you're using a serial printer.
When hooking up the IW2, you need to put a NULL modem adaptor between
the Amiga and the printer.  (If you don't, it won't hurt anything, but
it also won't work...)

I'm getting started with my A3000 (WB2.1).

I'm familiar with mwm and the ability to iconify my xterms, with
placement along the left bottom of my screen.

Is there a similar capability for the amiga's shell windows?

If so, how can I iconify using Ctrl<Btn2Down>?

Thanks,
Brett

Could anyone please send me a help file on how to use the ftp sites?  I have
been connected and looked through one, but have no idea how to read the README.
files (after trying stuff like read, type, list, ed, more, howdy, etc.).  Also,
after the binary file is received how would one then convert it to be usable?
Muchas Gracias.
