+Schmitzi Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hi, in the office, I connect with my WIN7-PC to the BBS. If I use telnet in a CMD, the world is OK (but cannot X-Fer) If I use my preferred SecureCRT, I have this strange character-sets, not showing the nice ASCII-graphics. I already have tried all types of terminal-emulations, like ANSI (Color), VT100, Wyse .... but no gain. Yes, I remember the Ansi.sys from former times, in the Config.sys.... but is that the solution, as it works proper with the windows-given telnet.exe ? Maybe something with my CodePage (CHCP is 850, german windows) ? Any ideas ? Thanks schmitzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 In Win7, I usually just use the command prompt. I type: telnet <enter> open heatwavebbs.com 9640 <enter> Beautiful graphics every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew180 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I've been using SecureCRT for years and it is always a bit of a hassle to get ANSI colors and such working. After some messing around I managed to get it working (see photo). The settings I made were: Emulation -> Terminal -> ANSI Emulation -> ANSI Color -> checked Appearance -> Current color scheme -> Traditional Appearance -> Fonts -> Normal Font -> Terminal 10pt That's it. You need to make sure you select a font that has the old DOS extended characters that have the line drawing and block drawing characters.

+Schmitzi Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Matthew my big savior !! I have tried around so much combinations, also on the fonts, but I think "terminal" was the one I missed. Thanks a lot, works perfect now Ralf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) So, as you also use SecureCRT for a long time, sorry, have another question I also use "login-scripts", but here at the HeatWave it fails with a wrong password. I know how to configure scripts here, also with the extra-located script-files. The HeatWave anytime gives me back a "invalid password" on the screen. I am not sure, but I think either he "sucks" one letter, or maybe there is a confusion with capitals.... /OK, password is definetely in capital letters, checked that, but error resists/ Do you use the scripts, did you experience something like that ? schmitzi /EDIT for more facts, an to free Kevin/ Edited May 5, 2015 by schmitzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as I was using telnet in my distress, but in CMD/telnet, you cannot X-fer fies. But now my main problem is solved as you can read above Thanks schmitzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SecureCRT is sending the password at full speed without delay, Heatwave will not be able to process it. You need to insert delays to allow for the RS232 to process the incoming stream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Heatwave converts the password to capital letters. Huh? What! I've been calling that place for how long and did NOT know that!?! WIBD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Huh? What! I've been calling that place for how long and did NOT know that!?! WIBD! Yea, doing this eliminated a lot of problems with user error during login File transfers also enforce a caps-only requirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Huh? What! I've been calling that place for how long and did NOT know that!?! WIBD! Yes, if you enter or change your password, it is automatically converted to capitals, AT the moment of input, not regarding wether you are using/entering small or capitals. So it should work fine ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I have tried the following now, but no success on entering the password.... maybe you have an idea for me ? #$language = "VBScript" #$interface = "1.0" Sub main crt.Screen.Synchronous = True crt.Screen.WaitForString "bye: " crt.Screen.WaitForCursor 1 crt.Screen.Send "l" crt.Screen.WaitForString "ID#: " crt.Screen.WaitForCursor 1 crt.Screen.Send "63" & VbCr crt.Screen.WaitForString "password: " crt.Screen.WaitForCursor 1 crt.Screen.Send "MYPASSWORD" & VbCr ' crt.Screen.Synchronous = False End Sub Edited May 5, 2015 by schmitzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If password is "opendoor" pause send "o" pause send "p" pause send "e" pause send "n" ... ... pause send "r" The password prompt cannot accept characters at full speed. They need to be sent at a normal typing rate. I do not know how to do this with your script. Some telecomm programs have a "pacing" delay or transmit delay that can be used for macros and scripting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 ...I do not hope that I have shutdown the HeatWave with my login-tries. It is not answering at the moment..... maybe just something like intrusion-detection for a while ? (but I made positives logins between my tries, to prevent from that) hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably been 10+ years since the actual software has crashed - I tried to make it bullet-proof There is no intrusion detection unless Kyle saw your repeated attempts and decided to take the system offline for a bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
