FSK format is; 1 -byte identifier
               3 -byte Julian Date in year
               2 -byte hour
               2 -byte minute
               2 -byte second
    mark frequency is 2025 hz.
    space frequency   2225 hz.
CHU transmits on 3.330 mhz., 7.335 mhz. and 14.670 mhz. using A3H mode
(Upper sideband, carrier inserted)

For additional information, contact the National Research Council in
Ottawa, Canada. I don't have their phone number but it should be in
area code 613.

You've already got two comm packages that support 14400+... you just need to
set them up right.  For either, set the bps of the BBS you are calling to
19200... make sure RTS/CTS is enabled... and you should see beautiful 14400
bps connects using either program.  If not, there may be something wrong,
but not with the programs -- both are used at high speed on a regular basis.

The problem I have found to be, you need to escape control characters at
your end.  I also use term, tried ncomm, and use jrcomm for one reason.
I love term, but the one thing it can't do (due to it's xpr libs) is
escape control characters.  It won't work if you try to do it at the UNIX
end, you MUST do it at your end.  Jrcomm has wonderful configurability and
allows the user to escape control characters by just clicking on a radio
button in the file xfer config pannel.  I am waiting for someone to tell
me how to do it using xpr libs, but I doubt it can be done.

There area several programs like that available, but it could also be

What kinds of baud rates?  There are two ways to do what you are asking.
The first way is to issue a serial read with a length of 1.  When you
retur from the DoIO, you can do a query on the serial port and read
whatever is in the buffer.
 
If you are needing really high, dedicated rates, there was an article
in the Amiga Transactor magazine that showed how to do low level serial
i/o, but it killed multi-tasking and did not allow disk I/O.

A little more details and maybe someone can help you!

Look about for a program called StarLight Answering Service.  It is built
for just such a chore.

Another way (what I did when I had problems) is to use TrapDoor with a
limited config file.  Key parameters are "BBSMODE NONE", "AFTERSESSION ''",
and "BANNER <File.txt".

The first makes sure the BBS does not launch, the second allows you to
receive incoming mail but not unpack it, and the third displays a text file
to human callers.  Use it to mention that the BBS is down.

Another good way that I haven't tried is using a good script-based or
AREXX compatable term program like NComm, Term, or Baud Bandit.

Someone really needs to start a FAQ for this group and then the first thing
in it should be the following:

There is currently no Demo version of the DLG PRO software available and
probably won't be. The software itself does not consist of one large
program wherein the modem routines can be yanked, but rather a collection
of inter-connecting programs that form the whole. My suggestion to those
interested in seeing more about the software is to call one of the many DLG
PRO systems set up and ask the Sysop (if he's around) to give you a tour.
About the ONLY thing you won't see on your end that the Sysop will see is
the title bar of the BBS screen that lists who's on-line. Everything is
pretty much doable from within the BBS so seeing it from the user's end is
no different than seeing on the sysop's end. If you would like to see my
system it can be reached at (313)391-6856. Just about any DLG PRO sysop
will be happy to show you around or you can call the Support BBSs in Canada
or the U.S. The Canadian support BBS numbers are: (403)347-3262 HST and
(403)347-3269 V.32 and the U.S. Support board number is: (619)457-7810.

The BaudBandit.device is not associated with Baud Bandit, the term

to the docs, makes it possible to transfer at 115200 bps on
a stock 68000.  It sounds great, and it does seem to work as
a replacement for the serial.device.  I haven't been using it
long enough to say if in fact it does work at such high speeds.

I get errors when I set my term program to 57.6k bps, which is
as much as it allows, so maybe you need 1.3 or 2.0, cause I'm still
using 1.2.

Trying typing "sz" from the Un*x shell.  If you're lucky, you'll get to send 
stuff using Z-Modem protocol.  If not, nothing will happen.

Back to kermit.  Have you tried typing "Set Filetype Binary" from within 
kermit?  I used Kermit with N-Comm before discovering "Send Z-Modem".

Also, try typing "man kermit > kermit.man" and use LESS to read the 
resulting file.  Kermit should have online help as well (no free computers 
in the lab to try it on).

Don't know anything about VLT, as I don't have KS2.xx only KS1.2 (yeah, I 
know, I should upgrade, but I've got no $$ at the moment).

If you are using DLG for your BBS access, take a look at YARN by Andrew
Folkins.  It's included in package by the name of DGLScripts by Darren
Ewaniuk (don't remember the exact name).  The AREXX scripts are set up for

   The best book for learning C is "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan
and Ritchie.  It's well written, contains excellent example programs, and is
quite compact.  Some people find it too terse for beginners.  I didn't.
Another excellent book (once you've worked your way through K&R) is "C: A
Reference Manual" by Harbison and Steele.  H&S explain things in more detail
than do K&R, so that's where I go when I don't understand a point from K&R.

   It helps if you have had a little experience with assembly language.  If
you've fooled around with indirect addressing in assembly language it's a
lot easier to understand what's happening with pointers.

        Incidentally, the reason I'd prefer an HJ100i to a BJ10ex is that
the internal fonts are a bit nicer and it seems to print slightly quicker.
And it's a nice cream colour to suit my Amiga better ..

        Thanxx in advance

You are a proud owner of the "SADAM HUSSEIN VIRUS" :-).
Use BootX (freely avaible on many FTP sites) to remove it.
