Actually, your a little off here.  V32bis means connectability at
14400,12000,9600,7200 and 4800 bps.  V32 means connectability at 9600 and
4800.  Notice that all rates supported by V32 are included in V32bis?  You
are correct that the lower baud rates may not be present, but pretty much
every modem does have 2400,1200 and even 300 (with 1200 and up usually
supporting at least MNP4/5 or possibly the V42/V42b combinations).

The Amiga serial port hardware does not support a 7N1 framing.  This
isn't well documented, and Serial Prefs. doesn't complain when you set
it.

You must specify a frame with at least 10 bits, including the start bit,
such as 7E1, or 7S1 (perhaps even 7N2.)  7N1 only has 9 bits total.  Of
course it has to match the setting on the other end (to a certain
extent.)

Sorry, I don't know much about Term, except that from what I read it
crashes alot.

HELP!!!!!
I have the commodore a2232 serial card and it does NOT
work with anything but terminal programs.  I can not
get it to allow me to use the "newshell aux1:" or
"newshell ser6:" at all.  if i try to do newshell ser4:
(or any port) the prompt  for the shell gets printed for
me on my parallel printer.  what the hell is happening?

i also have a really cheesy 1.3 looking preference
manager for the card.

i was hoping to be able to use a dumb terminal with my 
computer and maybe hook other serial things up, but so far
all i can do is use terminal programs (by the way they work ok)
like ncomm and handshake and select any port i want. needless
to say i am dissapointed in paying what i did for it and it
doesn't work.

any ideas?

Why is it that whenever I log off from a BBS or the University's VAX system,
the connection cuts off prematurely.  For instance, when I "logout" from the
VAX, it sends how long I've been on and other such stuff, but it never
completes.  All of a sudden, the characters turn weird, the screen blinks,
escape codes come through and "NO CARRIER"

Why does this happen?

Yes there is a standalone version of kermit.  It was released about 2-3 months
ago.  It is basically the same version that was released for Unix SYS V type
machines.  It can be had from watsun.cc.columbia.edu.  I believe it is up to
version 3.1 something.  Several enhancements - such as extended pack size
(1024 - 2048), a full script language and others.

Sorry, that is all I can remember at the moment.

Correct.  I mis-stated when I used the term "PD".  The code in question has a
copyright notice intact, in the source and in the binary, as Steve Drew 
himself has said.  I believe its a morality issue, this is what my opinion has 
been through-out this entire discussion.  Copyright lawsuits, on this scale, 
are very costly, and for most cases is pretty much useless.  I have always 
believed that when releasing commercial software, it should indeed be my own, 
or code used by permission.

Date: 14 Sep 92 05:04:30 GMT
Article-I.D.: glia.crystal.716447070
Organization: University of Washington


I really am having MUCHOS problems trying to upload to my unix host. I've
tried the host = server, I've tried  kermit -r, and all sorts of permutations,
and I STILL get transmission errors.  I am using XPR-Kermit with the latest
version of C-Kermit (it is my only option) and the connection is at 1200 baud.

But the one thing that is *really* getting annoying, is that VLT seems to
insist on sending my PATH to the unix machine.

I use the requestor, but if my file is on the RAM DISK, it appears on glia
as  RAM DISK:filename  (and Unix will not allow me to rename or FTP THAT at
all because of the space).  I HAVE gotten error-free transmissions, but I
can't DO anything with them once they appear on unix thanks to the path 
being sent. :<

So, I try to send it from my HD and it appears on glia as DH0(30MB):filename
(and unix chokes on THAT because of "misplaced parentheses").

So I try to send from a floppy, which at least has a name unix can deal with,
but the transmission gives me MORE errors because the floppy is too slow.

HELP!!!!!   WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???  Surely someone here has used this
combination of term/unix and can give me their settings for uploading on
both sides of this picture!   (Downloading is NOT a problem, but uploading
is sheer hell...)

At the moment, I can only send tiny 2K files  (up to 10K if I get really LUCKY)
off my floppy, but I want to send a 77K file to a friend and there is no way
it can be done from the floppy without timeout errors.  (I was able to get it
uploaded with only ONE error after I don't know how many tries, and was told
that it was STILL corrupted).  It was sent from my HD and I the only way I
could rename it was by  mv *.lha   newname.lha  because of the (30MB) in the
pathname.        

Is it the PATH that is screwing me up?  Most of my errors are in the first
block or 2, but also occured after 10 to 15K had gone through with no problem.
*sniff*  This is really bugging me!

Thank you for any help you may have...

Currently, X-Comm is being tested on every range of machine including a 2 meg A500, A600, 5Meg A2000 al the way upto my 6Meg A3000. I keep trying to tell peole that that version was a load of SH*T! It doesn't work on half the machines (Mine included I think!). It shouldn't be judged by that version. The current 0.97b version works on ALL machines that it is being tested on. My chief beta tester (Michael Lorant) has an A2000 and it works perfectly on their. I have found tho, that for some strange reason, Pr


ograms tend to crash on some machines and not on others. I have to figure this out. I'm sure Olaf will agree.

BTW, Not to shock anyone, but X-Comm's current executable filesize stands at 
about 312K! Sorry to all those smaller users, but it really is time we amigans moved up. We can't keep holding the standard of software down by constantly trying to economise on certain things. Anyway, the last toime I tested it, X_Comm needed about 425K of fast and 111K of chip to run, which should be fine on most peoples 1Meg machines.

I'm not sure what you can do about VLT/Kermit insisting on the pathname, but 
you can:
(1) Rename the RAM DISK: to something without a space in it. (Amiga side)

(2) mv "RAM DISK:filename" filename , which works on my UNIX system
    * note the quotes... :)

(3) Try the "External Options" menu item.  For Zmodem at least there is
    an option to turn "Send Full Path" *OFF*.  For Kermit, maybe.

Hope this helps some ...

	Anybody have any luck using your Amiga's printer as a local printer
while hooked up to a VMS VAX system using VLT 4.846?

	Let me know, as currently I am using VLT because of the speed (19.2k),
while the terminal program I currently use to print from (VaxTerm) is able to
emulate a VT220, and although there is no direct printing command for it, there
is a key that echoes all output to the printer as well.

	The only thing wrong with VaxTerm is that it only runs at 9600.
