When you get an Enforcer hit, something has gone wrong and invalid
memory is being addressed.  If you simply attempt to continue, you
will probably hit the same situation again, since the registers 
will not have changed.  You can fix up the Enforcer hit by modifying 
registers using the SET or REGISTER commands.  For example, let's say
the following instruction generates an Enforcer hit:

   MOVE.L D0,(A0)

where register A0 contains a zero (or some other invalid address.)
You can fix it by modifying register A0 with the REGISTER or SET
commands so that it points to valid memory.  You can even do this
with a macro, as shown below.  (For this example, assume that A0
is supposed to be the address of the variable 'x', but somehow you
forgot to set it in your code):

   break $ {register A0 = &x; go}
   register A0 = &x
   go

The $ says to set the breakpoint at the current location.  When the
breakpoint is hit, register A0 will be set to the address of the
variable 'x' and execution will continue.  The next two statements
set A0 for this occurrence and continue.

Of course, the same thing applies to the JUMP command:

   break $ {jump nn; go}
   jump 0xADDRESS
   go

There is also one further thing you can do:  turn off Enforcer for
the remainder of the CPR session.  If you disable Enforcer, the
Enforcer hits won't be generated and CPR won't catch them.  Use
a CPR AREXX macro or go to an external CLI to disable Enforcer.

I also have had problems with Term2.4a I'm using a Supra 14.4 Fax modem it

Has anyone successfully communicated with Supra via internet?

Does Supratech login to GEnie anymore?

Summary: Multiple sourecs for Kermit on Amiga
Keywords: datacomm, kermit, amiga

Thanks to all who responded to my pleas for help in finding a datacomm
program for the Amiga. It was my first all-call for help, and I wasn't
disappointed. For others looking for this option, here's a summary of
the help I was given:

   Program           Source
   VLT or VLTjr      nic.funet.fi
   ATalkIII          commercial
   C-Kermit          watsun.cc.columbia.edu

Be aware, if you decide to use VLT or VLTjr, to get Kermit to work you
need to have the appropriate external file transfer protocol library
(xprkermit.library) available through grind.isca.uiowa.edu (this last
also has VLT and other comm software =).

Wonderful.  Give us a task list, would you?  Also, during your
downloads, have you happened to notice the term's download window to
place things kind of "funny"?

In particular, Term sometimes neglects, during batch transfers, to
update the file being downloaded until it is finished.  Term seems to
also randomly put everything into "inverse video" when it writes
things into their respective stuff, and I've seen term "misplace"
things--for instance, the # of bytes transferred often ends up way on
the left side of the "box" it's in, not in it's usual "displaced"
place.

(shrug) it's late.

Good eve.

Here are some suggested questions if you want to use AmigaNOS for SLIP:

You will need to get some very specific information from the person who
maintains the local connection you want to use:

1. Do I need to register for SLIP?
2. How do I start up SLIP?
3. What will my hostname and IP address be?
4. What IP address should I use for the default route?
5. What is the hostname and IP address of the domain name server?
6. What is the hostname and IP address of the SMTP gateway?
7. What is the hostname and IP address of the NNTP news server?

A friend of mine and myself went around and around with the silent answer
option in our 1.2H roms. First off you will need to patch your original
GPFax with the 2.21 patch file. That is if you don't have 2.21 already.
Next you will need an answering machine. Run GPFax and set the ring
detector to 1 more ring than your answering machine answers at. Next thing
you can do is get a friend who has a lot of patience to call you voice and
FAX to try it out. We considered ourselves lucky if we got the modem to
answer a FAX call 2 times in a row.:( Good luck!

I personally think that if software developers wouldn't ask for $50 or more
for a stupid game, or $100 for a word processor, people wouldn't see
a need to pirate stuff.   I would buy a hell of a lot more games, if
they were $15, insted of $50+.  I guess I stay with the few I have bought,
and some of my PD games....

I can't speak about the Supra 2400 in particular, but several modem
manufacturers did indeed use the Hayes patented escape sequence without
licensing.  And many used it quite legally once they licensed it from
Hayes.  Just because it's patented doesn't mean no one else can use it;
it means you can charge people money to use it and sue them if they use
it without permission, if you so desire.  Hayes, obviously, desires to
do this.

Rockwell has licensed the Hayes Improved Escape Sequence with Guard
Time from Hayes, so every modem with the Rockwell chipset makes use of
that escape sequence.  Your Supra 2400 doesn't use this chipset, but
I'd bet dollars to donuts Supra paid Hayes money to use the escape
sequence.  Or neglected to pay Hayes up front, but settled in or out of
court later...

    No, it's not user friendly. You have to read the docs & ask some questions
after you have it more or less together. But it sounds like you got a fouled up

From Dillon it's as easy as pie to install. Over all though, it's bug free.
