What is this conflict?  What causes it?  What happens?  Please describe in detail.
Which models are affected?

I tried to use the Timeset ARexx script that was recently posted here
and am having a problem.  I hope I did not already miss the solution to
this as I have not been reading this group closely as of late.

The script I have tries to call the NBS time service an sync my Amiga's
internal clock with a world standard.  I calls a routine "Delay()" which
I can not find.  It does not seem to be an AmigoDOS 2.04 standard and I
can not find it in the script itself.  Has anyone else had this problem
or (hopefully!) does anyone know how to rectify this?

Thanks for reading this!

Hello. I use my A2000 to log-on to a local Usenet site. I just downloaded
Term2.3 and am amazed at the number of features, customization capabilities
and overall looks. However, when trying to edit a file with emacs, a ^X^S 
sequence will always be met with an audible warning tone and a refusal
of the program to send the control sequence to the remote emacs program,
thereby not allowing me to save my file. I will be honest though in saying
that I have not read the docs and may be missing something on this aspect.
But the Net can help I am sure. So pleaaaase...

Thanks in advance.

  All my knowledge (or lack there of :-) came from reading various articles
in trade magazines, reading spec sheets, and actually working with the
stuff.  I dont know of any single book on ARCnet.  Your best bet is to
contact the manufacturers such as Data Point (creater of ARCnet, now in
France somewhere) or Standard Micro Systems, who have manufactured the
chips for years now.  SMC has a application note on the RS-485 wiring
scheme as used in the Amiga "pocket" adapter, a schematic of which
now appears on wuarchive in systems/amiga/incoming/hardware. (an
obvious plug :-)

  Another place to try for some info is in the Novell installation manuals.
They call it TRXnet for some stupid reason.  They have nice little
drawings and everything.

Multi-serial for the 500????  Hmmm... Well there was a hack that did exist but
the author of it is no longer supporting it....  I have heard that the adapter
to allow use of a 2000 card via the expansion interface on the side of the 500
allows some of the multiserial cards to work.   According to the designer of
Slingshot (got this second hand from a friend that talked to him) works
sometimes with the Commodore Multi-Serial board.  He was interested in finding
out why it worked with some of the Slingshots and not with others.  You might
wanna talk to him about whether they have solved that problem.  Not sure of
the company that is selling Sling shot.

Thanks to the many people who all had different ideas about how to get
my xprzmodem to talk to sz/rz.  I appreciate the effort, and am amazed
at how many different things can go wrong that I never heard of.

However, the culprit, as expected, was:

The terminal server.

Yep.  I figured out how to set some session variables, then did a bit
of random fiddling with it.  Suddenly, everything seems to work.  This
is more than annoying, since it previously seemed to transmit all
characters (8-bit included) cleanly enough.  I don't know why it
didn't work before.

Who knows?  It works now.  If you're at Davis (especially on any of
the CS machines) give me a buzz.  I'll explain what you need to do.

Too bad there isn't (as far as I know) a Zmodem xpr that is capable of
negotiating the connection to transmit over any line, like kermit can.
As someone else complained, you can tell sz to escape control
characters, but xprzmodem can't deal with that.

 The reason none of the other programs support 14.4 directly, is that with a
high speed modem, you want to buffer it a bit.  Thus you would set your serial
port speed to 19.2 and then the modem would connect at 14.4 with the other
modem, you get a buffer to help handle mistakes.  If you have a 14.4 modem,
read the docs and set the modem to an auto-downstep(?) function so that it
connects at the best possible rate and you don't need to set anything up other
than the serial port rate.

You can get a version of AFax from amiga.physik (it was there two days

There are no terminal programs that have a 14.4kbbps setting. That's because
with modems supporting this particular speed you should use 19.2kbps or
even 38.4kbps settings for your terminal program and CTS/RTS handshaking.

Theres a few around here that like it.  I'm not really bragging about it now, I'm

what's wrong with taglines?? if the mail reader is gonna insert it's name at the

It there a way to deselect the other numbers for a system when you connect
with any one of its numbers?  The \ak command looks like it should do it, but
it doesn't.

I'd like to start up BB from DCron and have it dial several systems gathering
news.  It complicates things when I have to keep track of connections in my
script, when the phonebook can handle it better itself.  Actually, it would
be nice to include this right in the phonebook macro so the other numbers for
that system are deselected when any connection is made.

How does the upgrade look?  Are there any added features or incompatibilities
with old scripts?

Rick

We are trying to develop some scientific software that requires the
Amiga to poll the serial port, and take action immediately upon the
arrival of a byte. Unfortuntely we are having trouble doing this
Is there a simple way to access the serial port hardware in a low-level
fashion, and could somebody please provide some example c-source code?
Even if someone has stuff from old Fred Fish disks that I can't dig up
on the net it would be a help.

Thanks very much,
