Oh well, perhaps I shouldn't have taken the manual to a Fax-modem I have
which describes itself as a "Class I" modem, and that uses the RPI,
on face value! I think its writers were just as confused as myself.

On further reading of it I also note the line that states: "Rockwell
has been making this software available to all communication software
companies". What a shame they don't mention the "black box"
methodology and cost of the software that you specify - but which might
also explain why I haven't found more than one package that implements
it!

I assume that I am right about "Class 2" Fax-modems doing more
"on-board" processing than in the "Class 1" case, however? (Which was
the general gist of the reply to the original posting).

Many thanks for your informed info. It's nice to learn more about the
"state of play".

I have a couple questions for all you netters out there using PCP for
Windows...
(1) For some reason, PCP for Windows seems to be losing a character every
now and then.  It just doesn't read it or something.  I had been using
ProcommPlus for DOS, and I've never experienced this.  I've also tried
running the DOS version from a box in Windows and it still has no problems.
This may seem like a really minor bug, but it could get in the way when I'm
doing file transfers, and it's really annoying when the character it loses
is part of a terminal escape sequence or something.  Really screws up the
screen bad.  Has anyone else had this experience?

(2) Here's an easy one...I want to increase the scrollback buffer size.  I
have gone through the Window-Setup-Terminal(Advanced) diaglog box and set
the number of pageto be 50.  It informs me that this requires 473K of
memory.  (I'm using the VT220 emulation.)  This should be no problem (I
think).  But I'm still getting noticably less than 50 pages...or even 20
pages worth of scrollback.  What am I doing wrong?  (I've RTFM but it just
tels me to change the number of pages and all will be well...not.)

Finally, here's a modem question...this probably isn't the right place, but
if someone could point me to the right newsgroup, I'd me most appreciative.

(3) Every time I remotely log in to my school's computer, *neither* version
of PCP realizes that the modem is online.  This is a problem when I need to
do an emergency hangup or something.  PCP won't send the hangup string to
the modem if it doesn't realize it's online.  Curiously, I can manually type
"~~~+++" and get to the command mode for the modem and tell it to hangup...
But I don't think this should be necessary.

Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give me.

Subject: Need a Diskcopy Utility
Organization: AT&T
Distribution: usa
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 17:04:27 GMT
Keywords: diskcopy


Anybody know where I can find a good diskcopy utility for use 
with a single floppy drive?  The old DOS diskcopy requires many 
swaps between the source and destination disks.  The diskcopy 
utility built into file manager is better, but it still requires 
at least one extra swap between the disks.  (Unless I just need
to reconfigure something?  About shows that I have enough memory
to read everything.)

My dream utility would copy a disk from the floppy, and store
the information on hard disk, and then allow multiple copies
to be made.  It would be great if it kept a menu of available 
floppy disks previously stored on the hard disk with tools for
deleting old versions.

If I can't get that, then I would love a utility that reads the
entire source disk and then prompts for the destination disk and
writes the entire thing in one shot.

Can anybody help out?  (I would prefer email replies.)

Thanks,

Dave Anolick

Yep it's easy - select the column of data after opening the ASCII text file,
then choose Data:Parse... - this allows you to parse each cell and break it
into multiple columns.

I think you are getting confused between the Fax compatibility (which
is almost universally "Group 3" nowadays) and the command interface to
the Fax-modem being used to send/receive the faxes and data. The
command interface is used to control how data is passed between the
computer and modem and where the processing is carried out. The data
finally appearing on the "telephone line" is (or should be!) identical.

If the Fax-Modem you are considering is termed "Class 1" then it will
implement features like V42/MNP-2,3,4 error correction and
V42bis/MNP-5 data compression inside the communication software running
on your computer - which will most likely be a package that comes
pre-packed with the the Fax-modem (and which might also make upgrading
or swapping to other software difficult if you don't like that
package!). There is an existing  "standard" implementation of "Class 1"
control called RPI (the Rockwell Protocol Interface) but you
have to hunt hard to find the comms packages that have it! I can only
think of "Quicklink II Fax".

With a "Class 2" command interface the modem itself runs the software
to do the processing. Your computer just deals in the "raw" data,
providing more opportunity to get on with such things as multi-tasking
other software, etc. (but theoretically making implementation of
any processing techniques produced in the future more difficult to
employ with your existing modem).

I think that WinFax Pro 3.0 does offer both control implentations,
though their demonstration package only features "Class 2". Check on
the box before you buy!!


Hope this helps you,

ALso, when I linked a chart into wpwin using paste link special it overlaps

I think your problem *MIGHT* be that your computer to modem speed is set too
slow and your buffer is bottoming out on you.  If you've got this set at
anything lower than 38400 (for a 14.4k modem), you should try raising it.

I have this problem too, but it informs me in the bottom status line that 
"Only 19 of the 99 requested scrollback pages could be allocated".  I've got
8 megs RAM, I'm not sure why it won't use any more of it. I tried changing
the PIF settings but to no avail.

If you don't have "AT&C1" in your modem init string, that would cause this.
But...if it is only for one system, that is pretty strange.

Hi there.  I am looking for a free SMTP/POP-3 E-mail program for
MS-DOS Windows.  I have Leemail and Eudora on my Mac.  Is there a
similar program for MS-DOS Windows?  I appreciate any help.


Thanks
Stewart
