Please run TMINST.EXE and under the Back window and set the 'Scroll Lock'
to ON. It will lock your last scrolling position when you bring up
the Back window. When Telemate is running, you can press the [Scroll Lock]
key to toggle this function.

Write your reply.

assistant: Second try, maybe the first didn't get out???
Okay, folks, the problem is I can't get a single line of connect info
from my backscroll. This is abnormal, right? Details, examples, below.
All comments welcome. It's driving me nuts.
Using a new cardinal 28.8 (internal), latest flash rom.
Using telemate 4.12
All appropriate at commands and s registers set, confirmed with cardinal
tech support.
backscroll of terminal screen after starting TM:
AT&F S0=0 S95=47    (init string)
OK
AT&C1              (init string)
OK
This is what I get when checking the backscroll after using the
dial window to call a place:
CONNECT 14400/ARQ
This is what I get when dialing from the terminal window. (And this
is what I WANT when dialing from the dial window/phone list. Any
clues/pointers welcome.
ATDT2273962
CARRIER 14400
PROTOCOL: LAP-M
COMPRESSION: V.42BIS
CONNECT 14400/ARQ
___------
Actually, what I want is a single line showing all this stuff. What do
you all get in backscroll immediately upon connect? Again, much thanks
for all responses.
Hmmm, a bit of experimenting allows me to get the 4 line result code
info above if I set the "Connect String" in TM's dialing options to all
4 words (Carrier, protocol, etc). My normal connect string was
"CONNECT", which is TM's default. Am I missing something incredibly
easy?  Is this a typical problem for someone upgrading from 2400bps and
is obvious to modern folk?
Am particularly interested in hearing from any cardinal and/or tm users,
but any and all suggestions welcome.

|my idea of "constructive".
I'm sorry, I'm new to this thread, but have been lurking awhile. I wonder
as I seem to have missed it if you could quote me the line where the young
man above calls ANYONE stupid. I wonder did you actually read what he
wrote, or just see the one word? Now I will agree calling RIP script
stupid is a bit excessive, but it is a feature no longer needed. I would
hope Winfred and you the Beta team are not wasting effort at present
trying to get RIP working in the new Windows version. HTML has effectively
killed RIP. Oh sure it will linger a few more years (CP/M hung on well
into the 80's after DOS came along), but the writing is clearly on the
wall. But I wander into another subject not worth debating. Regardless I
would appreciate your help in better understanding American English if you
could point out to me where the fellow as mentioned above calls anyone,
much less you or Winfred, (silly me I can't even find Winfred's name in
that stuff YOU quoted of his) stupid. Thanks in advance for the English

Telemate is, in our opinion, the best communications program on the face of
the earth.  To use it, all you need is a modem capable of at least 300 baud,
and a computer running DOS 3.2 or greater.  In exchange for that small
investment, you get:
   * Multiple windows at one time
   * Multitasking!!  Edit/View a file while downloading.  (If you're careful,
     even GO TO DOS!!)
   * Full mouse support
   * A menu bar
   * 9999 entry dialing directory
   * 9999 line backscroll
   * Full suite of terminal emulations (ANSI, VT102, VT52, TTY, Avatar, and
   more)
   * Doorway mode
   * A complete scripting language
   * Cut and paste
   * Full suite of download/upload protocols (Zmodem, Ymodem, Ymodem B,
Ymodem      Batch, Xmodem, Xmodem CRC, CIS-B, plus external protocols)
   * AND MORE!!
Just think, all this is free for the asking.  (However, we do ask that you
pay the registration fee, which is a modest $45, which is MUCH less than you
would pay for Qmodem Pro).  The latest DOS version is 4.12 (unless 4.20 has
come out).

assistant: Hi Monty,
Thanks for the reminder. And I did try your suggestion of removing the
mouse from the TMINST, by telling it that there was NO MOUSE attached.
It still does not want to u/l. Unfortunately, I do not have a connection
that will work on my Com 2 for the mouse. BTW, I thought I had fixed the
Com1 & Com3 conflicts. By telling TELEMATE that Com 3 had an IRQ address
of 10, and a base address of 3E8H, and the interrupt address of 114, as
suggested in the DOCS of TELEMATE, I had hoped that it would fix it.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I had done these before. I still
can't get TM to u/l any files greater than 10k. It just seems to
stop completely sometimes. BTW, I have had some success with MSWorks for
Windows V 3.0. This programme has a comms section in it (as I am sure
you may be aware), and I have been able to u/l files using this. Even if
it is at 95% of efficency.
The trouble I am having is that even from the DOS prompt, TM will not
u/l. It is becoming a very annoying problem, and I am now thinking that
it may not have been worth the hassle of buying 16550 UART.

Shane
