         Comments to: Gwen Barnes (gwen.barnes@mustang.com)

Are RPI (Rockwell Protocol Interface) drivers available for
Wildcat!  or Qmodem?
  Some modems rely on software support to enable high-speed
  operation and error correction. Without this software support,
  these modems only offer standard non-error-correcting transfers
  at 2400 bps.
  This type of software feature support is called "Rockwell
  Protocol Interface", and should not be confused with more
  standard modems that use the popular and very widely used
  Rockwell chip set.
  RPI is a cheap software-only solution that saves the
  manufacturer a few cents in production cost on each unit.
  Generally, you can only use the software that comes with an RPI
  modem if you want to use error correction, or connect at any
  speed higher than 2400 bps.
  QmodemPro for DOS supports RPI modems at 2400 bps only. Higher
  speeds are not supported.

I have an old version of Q-modem Pro that I had been using in my 286 based

is that my old version of Qmpro, running in Dos mode, won't initialize my
modem. Nothing at all happens. And this old version of qmpro don't even
have my modem (supra 28.8) in its configuration files.
Does anyone have any input on this problem? If not, is there a W-95
available so I don't have to run it in Dos mode? Or do I just have
a setup problem?
I have tried just about everything without any luck. The program worked
great with my 286 in dos mode and a zoom 14.4 modem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks very much.

assistant: Hello Charles, thanks for the reply. I have already downloaded the qmpro.pdf
 file from the Mustang Softwares Web Site. I have already installed it in
 my qmodem directory, without any different results. Qmodem pro loads up
 just fine, and says that I am in terminal mode. When I type letters on the
 screen though, nothing happens, so I put it on half-duplex, now I see
 the letters on the screen, but the modem is not responding.  When I type
 AT on the screen, I don't get the usual OK response from the modem.
 Aparently, this PNP modem, don't respond to DOS related programs, or I
 definitely have some parameter set up wrong. So, I attempt to type the
 reset modem characters, +++, again with no reaction from the modem. I have
 even changed the IRQ settings, thinking that maybe the IRQ's are wrong.
 Again, with no luck.  I am totally perplexed (sp?), and just don't have
 any answers. This version of qmpro is pretty old. The last qmodem.pdf file
 on it only had a VERY few 14400 modems on it.
 Anyhoo Charles, I am VERY open for advise? Have any clues?
 Thanks again for the reply, and will be waiting for your help.

Tuesday, February 25, 1997 Mark Campbell was overheard whispering to
Charles Raine about Qmpro
Hope you don't mind me for butting in but this sounds like the modem
is not set up to the proper COM port and IRQ setting.  Does the
modem work in any other terminal program you have installed??  If
the modem is seen by the software, the AT command should yield an
OK.  Do you have any program that will search out available COM
ports and IRQ settings??
Take care Mark!

.!. "Beautiful story.  Kinda gets you right HERE!"  -- Q
system: You are Joe Skelton, a caller on a 1990s BBS posting in the Qmodem User message echo. Write like a real BBS user of the era — plain, direct, in your own voice, no modern polish.

user: You are replying to Mark Campbell about "QMPRO".

Write your reply.

assistant: I had the same problem.  QMpro is not initializing the modem.  I tried
everything.  Mustang was no help.  If I use some other communications
program first that initializes the modem then Qmpro works just fine.  I
got a file with my modem called comtest.  I use that to init. and
everything is fine also.
Hope this helps
Joe
