I have heard a deafening silence from the C= crew over this -- no confirmation,
no denial, nothing.  In a situation like this, I start to lean to the theory
that there will be a new one, and it will be something built with DSP in
mind -- after all, why would they neither confirm or deny if they had dropped
it, or even just muffed it?

Hmmm....

Since Mike's post was from 28 October, I hope that he got a fix before this.

I had much of the same problems that Mike did.  The AT&F2 command does set
many of the right switches, but the key switch that helped my modem connect
without lots of junk streams was to turn on Data Carrier Detect.  (I think
that it was AT&C1, I don't have my manual with me)  I don't understand why
Supra has the default set to "DCD always on" (AT&C0).

Make sure that a power cycle on the Supra is more than a second or two in
length.  I found that occasionally if I power cycled too quickly, it
scrambled its brains.  (I haven't tried this since the 'H' roms came in.)

The new 'H' roms made my life easier, too.  I found that with modems I
could connect with a direct connection, now accept MNP5 just dandy. 
Connections are smoother, and mode retrain is wonderful.  <:-)

I picked up a Zyxel U-1496E last week, and while I haven't had a chance
to test its Fax or DigiVoice w/compression options it seems to be a good
modem. Works fine on my A2000 using the modems default presets. So far
the best transfer rates I've gotten were around 1800 cps without tweeking
a thing. I believe there are two versions of the 1496E. The newest one
(which I have) has been upgraded to 16,800 bps and has built-in Caller ID
and Distinctive Ring detection. I paid $350 retail.

GPFax Class 1 version 'should' work fine ("he said";-))

However, we will not sell GPFax on modems which we have not certified and
have been unable to get our hands on one of these modems cince they are not
available in Australia.  We may have found one, and, hopefully will be
able to report something to USR owners in a week or so, ("If the modem
arrives, he said")

Hmm... If peole CANNOT obtain GPFax from any of their local SUPRA dealers,
it is available direct from GPSoftware ins Australia.

SUPRA is handling all distribution outside Australia, so try talking
to them about it.  I have seen ads in Amiga World for the generic version
of the Software.  Check SUPRA dealers.

Mail me for details if you want it direct from GPSoftware.

  Try digging around a technical book store that has a decent telecomm section.
If you can find some info on FEC (forward error correction) protocols, like
Hamming and such, you're on your way.  These kinds of protocols are used in
deep space satallite transmissions where turn-around times would make the
data transfer intolerably long.

  Now for the bad news.  FEC's add a lot of overhead to the protocol, which
makes them impractical for modem use.

I'm having a problem getting UUCICO to connect to my newsfeed system
via a different system.

The System I'm getting news from does not have dial-in connections, so
here is what I do.

At WMU we have a terminal server, which I dial into, and hit return
twice to get a "Enter username> " prompt.  It doesn't really matter what
I type here, as long as I type something.  I usually just type 'c' and
hit return.  Then I get a "Local> " prompt.  At this point I type
"connect winnie" which connects me to our VAX system.  The prompt I get
is "Username: " (Let's say 'Rick' is my username), then I get a
"Password: " prompt.  Let's just say my password is 'garbage'.
Once I'm logged in, I get a "--VAX-->" prompt, at which I must type
"telnet 141.218.40.40", then get the normal unix login/password
prompts.   (For the sake of helping me out, assume the same password
and username.

Can anyone help me write an L.SYS entry for this?  I've tried everything
and nothing seems to work.

ftp.funet.fi (also known as nic.funet.fi) doesn't delete old files
unless there's a reason (new version of the file, illegal file,
replaced by another).  To my knowledge, this has always been the
policy here.

To find a file, nothing beats using archie.  To find new files, you'll
have to collect info from several places, like comp.archives and the FTP
sites themselves (good ones have files that lists recent files in various
flavours).

ftp.funet.fi has about 780 MB of Amiga related material, including
fish disks #1 to current.
  We do have the files from aminet as well, but they are organized
according to our own directory hierarchy, and they are examined before
made available (we try to avoid spreading viruses and pirated software
here).
  This site also have lots of other information stored (around 8.5 GB

If you check the docs with the zmodem docs you can see that it looks like
someone has done a search/replace zmodem/bimodem.
No, I haven't found anyone to test it with.
On the other hand, it works perfectly together with another machine using
zmodem. Go figure. (Anyone in Norway wanna test it with me?)

Subject: Terminus script variable & Arexx problems!
Organization: Microdata Oy
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 1992 20:20:56 GMT


I'm currently testing the beta version of Terminus 2.0, and
I have some problems with scripts. I'm planning a bit bigger
script program that needs not only ordinary variables, but
"table" variables - those what usually are initialized with
DIM a(100,2) command, for example.

NComm and Terminus doesn't seem to have this type of variables.
So, I've tried to use Arexx. 

Terminus has REXX command, which sends a command string to the
Arexx server. And Arexx 'has got it all', so it would be a good
idea to mix Script and Arexx commands. However, I haven't find
a way to pass information between Arexx variables and Terminus'
script variables.

I've tried the following:

1) REXX "a(1)=10" ... and then print (or REXX say) commands, but 
   this seems to be a difficult/impossible way to operate... I 
   would have to place REXX command at the start of every line.

2) Not using .scp, but .trx instead.  But without any results...
   What Arexx command should I use to replace PRINT REMOTE?

...writing a host script is very difficult, and frustrating, if
I don't find any solution to this problem.

So, Please!, tell me, how could I use this type of variables,
or find a way to do things different way...
