You will be able to do so with allmost every BBS programs for the amiga,

That's right.  An awful lot of people who connect to hosts in Michigan via a
statewide network known as "MichNet" fall into this group, myself included.
MichNet dialins are not wired for hardwire handshaking, we must use
XON/XOFF.  Anyone that thinks nobody uses software flow control is not too
informed.

Bet you can do this semi-easily with ARexx ... I wrote a macro for
VLT once to send text with various delay factors and padded blank
lines ... such a thing would be easy to add any number of features
required by dumb systems to.

Actually, it does (I think).  I have been using the XPRASCII library to
"Paste" from a file.  You can specify the character delay and line delay
in the transfer setup window, and I believe that you can also set a line
prefix (not sure about suffix).  The only problem that I've found is that
you can't select a different protocol for the Binary and Ascii uploads
(ie.  I'd like to do binary up/downloads with XPRZMODEM, and Ascii uploads
with XPRASCII).

Keep up the good work, Olaf!!!

    CBM is a little wierd with the serial.device. Did they put in a
    "drop DTR" command with 2.0?

    I think it's fair to say that most comms people do with a micro
    nowadays is 8N1 with hardware handshaking. Anything else is either
    obsolete or getting that way.

    For example, all BBSing here is 8N1, and the only thing I've got
    that needs 7E1 is logging into a stupid Unix box.

    The documented performance of serial.device that I've got does not
    match the speed that the comms port can be driven at by some
    pieces of software. I don't think the serial.device is written
    with "ultimate" speed in mind, it's more of a general purpose
    thing.

	Well, just downloaded Term 2.4, and might just switch 
over to it from VLT, provided I can fix a couple things...  
How do you get tone dialing??  I have setup the modem prefix
string to be :  atdt *70,  (the *70 gets rid of call waiting).
But when I use the phone book to dial a number, I always get 
pulse dials not tone dialing.  Anyone have a clue as to how to fix
this?  I have saved the config file and have rebooted several times
since it crashed my computer (don't know why, but guru'd with 80000003).
As a side note, is the term.guide file in Documentation, similar to
the amigaguide.library file for sas/c 6.0?  Or is it of any use?
My system is an unaccelerated 2000 running 2.04, 6 Megs RAM 512K chip RAM.
Didn't see an installation guide anywhere in the distribution I got
and didn't see anything on installation in term.doc, so just used
"common sense" on installation (*which might be the problem!*)

I don't know if I'd be quite so dour.  I have a 5meg unaccelerated 500 with
the Supra 144 and a Trumpcard 500AT harddrive.  On my system I consistently
get throughput of at least 1650 cps, sometimes a wee bit higher. As well,
I have NO problems using 38400 with either the standard serial.device
OR the BaudBandit.device (though I had some probs with the machine 
crashing when I uploaded while using BaudBandit.device).  I use JRComm
set at 2 colors.

I am trying to get SerNET 2.4 running between an Amiga 3000 and 500.
The 500 runs 1.3, the 3000 runs 2.04, and the serial connection between
them is good -- tested at 19200 with vlt and baudbandit.  The 500 has
3M of memory and a 68010 processor; the 3000 10M and an A2232 board (but
the default is the built in port, which is what is connected).

After NET: is mounted on both machines, a request from the 3000 to read
a 500 resource just hangs (no return, CLI frozen).  A request from the
500 results in an immediate guru with a xxxxxxx4.xxxxxxxx code.

Any hints?

Well, wouldn't the fact that your not running C-Net kinda imply that you 
no longer OWN C-net...what would be the point in owning 2 BBSs.  I would 
assume you sold it...

If you still OWN C-Net and have not sold it, you should be reinstated on

I've put off posting hoping to see someone come up with the same prob but
here goes:

After never having a problem with Term ever since it 1st came out and
listening to people complain about crashes and etc... I've finally got a
one.  I've got the latest version of Term, use the '030 version and
reused all my config files that have worked since the beginning.  I can't
get z-modem file transfers to work.  I started having problems with 2.2b
but it only gave an incomplete file received message even though the file
was received ok.  Now, I get packet and header errors and it quits after
getting the maximum # of these errors.

Now when I say problems, I mean major errors like these or crashes.  I've
fortunately never had any version crash on me (still can't get back all my
memory after quitting though.) I still find minor bugs such as editing in
emacs.  If I use the left cursor key, the text to the right of the cursor
follows the cursor.  I end up having to press ctrl-l a lot.  I like the new
pasting functions but grabbing text is kinda difficult w/ the new pointer,
it's hard to see which character is under the pointer when you're grabbing.

I'm sure this has been asked but how do I get vt200 emulation?  I haven't
seen any vt200 libs for external emulations.  I need it so I can use my
keypad as pf keys.

BTW, I've got an A3000 and all sorts of goodies that have never had a prob
with Term, such as Toolmanager, exploding windows, a screen blanker, etc...
I just started using Toolmanager 2.0 but I don't know if this is the prob
since I haven't had 2.3 Term for very long either and haven't done file
transfers in a few months.  Never had a prob with TM1.5.

Hmmm.  It could be that that is as fast as your modem can go (possibly
with that file,) or as fast as the remote system can go, or something
else I haven't thought of.

What kind of errors.  Sending or receiving?  What's on the other end?
Since you say "on a per block basis," I assume that that each block is
eventually transmitted correctly, it just takes a while, right?

Subject: How to FTP w/ Amiga?

I can't figure out how to FTP w/ my amiga.  I use my A500 as a terminal into
Penn State's Mainframe (IBM 3090 VM/CMS) and want to be able to FTP software
via anonymous FTP.  I can do this with the macs and IBM that are hardwired
into LANs on campus, but I don't know how to do this over the phone to my
apartment.  Right now I use JR-Comm as a term program.  The mainframe
supports kermit several protos: TCP/IP, tn3270, and YTERM file transfers.
Are there ANY PD programs available for the amiga that support any of these
protocols?  If so, how can I get them?  I'm mainly interested in PD/Shareware,
but any info will do.  Thanks in advance.

Dave
