    Weird question. I originally wrote this for the T: driver for the 830 and SX and have it doing an XIO 36 to adjust the transmission speed.

    With the R: driver(s), do I really need to adjust the transmission speed with each connection? Or could I just talk to the serial port/modem at 9600/19.2 and let the modem downshift the communication speed to whatever it needs?

    I'm finding difficulties taking incoming calls at 9600 and 14.4. The BBS keeps wanting to default down to 300 bps.

     

    Simple and not a weird question at all- open the throttle - XIO 36,15,0 and remove the variable baud rate code as it’s a complexity which is unnecessary.

    I ran bobterm, ATZ give "OK", ATV0 gives "0"
    so.. testing with a completely different hardware setup...

    Rick - BobTerm has its own handler. Suggest the Sparta 3.3a RS232.COM handler or the Altirra handler which we know works. Curious also what OS you are using as my Altirra test was completed using SpartaDos 3.3a 

  3. Altirra System Overview: 

     

    Base system NTSC 130XE (128K)

    Additional devices 850 Interface Module, Modem, Printer (P:)

    OS firmware Atari XL/XE OS ver.2 [1F9CD270]

    Mounted images Disk: Atarilink 2 11102023.atr [14F52F32]
    Cartridge: Basic XE (OSS Type B) (BASIC XE 4.1).bin [003D3A36]

    Emulated R: Handler

     

     

  4. Correct but after the ATE0 - not really character that this editor provides.. The CONTROL M Char is the needed after ATE0 and of course you are printing to #2;

     

    ? #2;"ATE0(atascii ctl-m) S4=24 S2=255 S7=5 S37=10"

  5. Rick - It sounds like, from the AT command repeating the modem is not opening. I have the code for AtariLink and will look at the open/close modem commands set in the call wait routine as it may need an additional string to prep the modem for auto answer, and remove the modem feedback. Example:

     

    ATE0 S4=24 S2=255 S7=5 S37=10

     

    As well as the appropriate gosub to the CLM and OPM

  6. Definitely appreciate the kind words Josh! The circle of events around the floppies is certainly a great story and reminder of how great our Atari world can be.
     

    From a preservation stand point it’s our responsibility to secure and protect these treasures + BBS’s. We are the last generation of Atari Users and going strong with hope of a next generation.

    Not to jump the thread (or whatever it had devolved into) but I'd like to add:  I picked up an SX212 recently and after cleaning it up plugged one end into the 800XL and the other end into my AT&T POTS service.  I did some research at https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ searching for dial-up sites (returned 29 results).  Loaded SX Express, selected 1200 baud and ASCII, and manually dialed (949) 325-9040 for AMIS XE BBS which claims to be running Atari hardware.

     

    This being a sunny Wednesday, AT&T happened to be in service, I got a dial tone and I was able to log in to the Southern Amis Projects Atari Message and Information System.  Man, I haven't done that in a while.  The squawk of the modem, the anticipation as characters crawl across the screen, the downloads that fail when somebody picks up the extension phone...  What a hoot.

     

    Kids, don't try this at home!

    Thanks for Stopping by! Next time switch to Atascii when you get out of the modem pool. That will really take you back!

  8. Seems a challenge has been made from Russ's 14 nodes FoReM XEP 6.0 against the Basement BBS. We have an old Sk00l BBS war..

    You are telling me to waste all of my work? And it does not matter to anyone ??? The why did people other than you respond to it? 

    I am sorry but your experience is not the same as my experience. But I will let them ask if they want it.

    My work product works. Forem XE pro was restored months ago by me so I guess your experience requires years to do what I did in 5 hours. And I guess since users actually connect to my BBS(s) provides more definitive evidence of my capabilities to execute over your supposed skill.

  10. Russ,

     

    Please stop. Let me tell you from experience, it doesn't matter to anyone. Do it for yourself, don't publicize your work. If anyone wants Forem XE pro, they will ask. If they don't ask, its because, they don't need it, want it, or care.. Just go quietly to work on your projects.. The Professionals have this..
