heck the manuals (:>) for the class of operation you have enabled with the
modem.  If Class II is available ensure it is enabled.  You won't have to slow
the modem down: max practical modem speed is 9600 which by coincidence is the
max port speed allowed by Windows.

However, I can't tell if the fact it's running in background is likely to
interfere with broadcast (processor, PIF considerations etc).  Not the place
you'd expect this but, GO OZCIS sec. 8 for a thread that's recently ended on
Windows and fax.  It was *extremely* informative.

Thanks for your reply.

<< If Class II is available ensure it is enabled.>>

The manual says Class I and II are featured in the modem and WinFax says the
modem must conform to both classes. There does not seem to be any instruction
about enabling classes. At your prompting I find in the manual that Zoom have
a Forum on CIS! I will ask them about the problems.

<<max practical modem speed is 9600 which by coincidence is the max port speed
allowed by Windows.>>

I have a High Speed Serial Card, would this automatically set the speed at
14,400?

<< GO OZCIS sec. 8 for a thread that's recently ended on Windows and fax.  It

I had a quick look with CIM. Is Sec 8 called Storm Cellar? CIM does not number
the sections. What was the thread heading?

Thanks again for the help.

Transend is great for Viewdata...I would stick with it.  I expect you use
something else for CIS too..  Procomm is OK for BBS use, but a bit dated now.

No, not if you run comms in Windows up to 3.1.  You can manually reset the
port while in the comms program but Windows resets the port to 9600
automatically. Undesirable, but you can set the port to less than 9600.
Nonsense isn't it? Outside of Windows, you should also ensure that the bps
selected is as required.  Usually the port setup on a fast serial card should
be set to 19,200bps to allow for buffering (if necessary).

Sorry about this.  Oz forum gets >600 messages a day, I checked and I think
it's already scrolled.  I've put in a request for it if it should exist
anywhere.  If so, I'll send it on.

I know this isn't why you posted the message, but have you considered Ozcis as
an OLR?  Only when you use an OLR will you truly see the cost saving benefits
of using high speed comms.  If you want advice just ask.  Ozcis is also the
cheapest software you'll ever use, if you stay with it and register.  I HATE
WinCim; DOSCIM I feel is a superior product, but they are like the difference
between a Mini and a Ferrari with 4WD and an offroad capability (sounds
oxymoronic doesn't it?).  Ozcis is difficult for the first 48 hours but then
it all seems so easy, and effortlessly superior.  Minimum system
considerations are like Windows, a 386 and (usually) 4Mb of RAM.  If you can
run Windows you can probably run OZ.

Good luck.

Besides, I'm a firm fan of the easy user interface that CIM provides (far

Just found the reference I was looking for.  Assuming your Winfax Lite is
installed to Windows, look in the WIN.INI file in the Windows main directory.
There should be a section referring to fax class, set it to Class 2 as shown
below.

If you have the correct settings listed in your CIS program then just copy

(I prefer to set up the optimum settings and store them using AT&W, then I can
just initialize the modem with ATZ in each program)

No great ones, but:

See if the manual lists any switches you can put after TRANSEND when you load

See if your card manual has any tips.

If that doesn't work contact Messiter Software and ask for a fix, I expect

##unf POW v1.03 Maintenance Release - POW103.ZIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have uploaded the latest version of POW to UKCOMMS Lib4.

This is a Maintenance Release primarily to fix OverFlow problems and a couple
of other reported bugs.  At the same time we took the opportunity to add one
or two extra features requested by our registered users. There is also a
change in the CompuServe contact info, since UKCOMP Comms section (used for
POW support) has now moved to this new forum. Please see the ReadMe.Txt &
History.Txt (v1.02 & v1.03) for more info.

The number of conferences supported in the Add/Drop confs section and the
conference list in the editor has been raised from the previous limit of
around 3500 to 10,000 and support for mail door Add/Drop confs has been
improved to cover all mail doors which use the system of one msg per
add/drop/reset.

Users can now change the font used in the Editor in the same way as in the
Main Window.  The edit box is resized (if possible) so that word wrap occurs
at the right place.

Other improvements include:- Improved error trapping and reporting. Exit
button added.  Additions and improvements to docs/help.

This new version is for world-wide distribution and replaces all previous
versions which are now out of date.

I am the author of POW and will provide continuing support in this area. All
bug reports and comments/suggestions for future versions are very welcome.

For anyone just visiting who would like a bit more info here is a brief
description:-

POW is a "One QWK at a time" OLR but with the ability to save messages to
Folders database.  Replies created with POW are automatically saved into a
special folder for this purpose.  View Bulletins, News, NewFiles etc. inc

That corruption of characters seems to suggest with a baud rate or parity
problem. Have you got the BBS software set to be locked at a baud rate of
19200 (or faster). It sounds as if it is not locked and while the inital set
up strings may be sent to the modem at 19200 (or whatever) once it connects
the BBS software is switching to the CONNECT speed but the modem is continuing
to talk at 19200 (or whatever).

No.  According to Ray Gwinn's PMLM (poor man's line monitor) the parity
settings stay the same and the DTE speed stays as set up.  I've also tried
explicitly locking it via CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=SIO.SYS (COM1:19200)

Both modems have the relevant AT commands for baud rate lock.  I've also tried
the "extreme verbosity" CONNECT messages (&A3 on the Sportster, S95=47 on the
Pace Microlin) and they report CARRIER 14400 and CONNECT 19200.

I'm puzzled.  I've played with modems before - including the (relatively)
excellent V22 jobbie in the old PPC - this has me flummoxed.

As BBS software can obscure your view of the message traffic between modem and
software (it tends to "eat" the CONNECT message) I'd try the same thing using
a standard terminal program and watch the complete message dialogue between
the two things.

I missed the beginning of this thread. What is the problem? The CARRIER 14400
and CONNECT 19200 is perfectly normal for for a 14.4 modem with port locked at
19.2. The fundamental reason for differentiating the two, is that the locked
port rate is a constant. However, the modem, dependent upon line quality, can
connect with a carrier rate other than 14.4, ie: 12.0, 9.6, etc. This becomes
more pertinent with the V.Fast-type modems which can connect with a much wider
range of carrier rates. Also serves as pertinent data for those programs which
calculate xfer times/cost based upon actual data rate.

If I am off base with your problem/question, let me know.

The modems' responses are correct - THAT is one of the things flummoxing me.
The original post follows - the most promising suggestion so far is crosstalk
on the BT lines - they run together untwisted for 300 feet at least:

 =================================================================
 I'm trying to set up a small BBS.

 Everything works fine except that after CONNECT the BBS software's
 initial prompts come through as garbage.  In particular, [strings of] spaces
 are replaced by [strings of] "a"-umlaut (ASCII 32 becomes ASCII 132) - the
 message appears about half the size it should be.  I think I've
 tried just about everything.

 The setup is using OS/2 2.1GA.  I have three systems and two
 modems available for testing:

  System A: AST 486TE 33Mhz, motherboard 16450 UARTs on COM1 & COM2.
  System B: AST 486TE 33Mhz, add-in serial 16550A UARTS on COM1 & COM2.
  System C: AST 386SX 25c laptop, motherboard 16450 UART on COM2.

  Modem A: Pace Microlin fx32+ 14.4
  Modem B: USR Sportster 14.4

  BBS Software - both Maximus and Oracomm downloaded for trial.

  Accessing software - PM Terminal.

 Both systems A and B has been tried as hosts, with B and C tried
 as guests.  Four serial cables, one a fully-populated flat ribbon,
 have been tried in all combinations.  The modems have also been
 swapped around - no difference.

 Most of my trials have been with Maximus in "WFC" mode.  I get the
 same results with Oracomm, though.

 I've tried Ray Gwinn's OS/2 drivers - no difference.  Using Ray's
 drivers, I've run his OS/2 line trace and can see both systems are
 set at 8-N-1 and the DTEs are running at what I've set them at.
 The BBS system, if set to local echo, returns good data from the
 modem.  The "remote" system sees garbage from the modem.  (Must
 send Ray some money).  I've tried everything from 19.2k down to
 4800 - no difference. I've tried various combinations of modem
 settings as recommended in various books, aiming at RTS/CTS
 flowcontrol and disabling software flow control.  The modems seem
 to agree on what they've negotiated when I ask for a full display
 of the link parameters (S95=47 on the Pace, &A3 on the USR
 Sportster.

 All combinations are used for dialling out to a number of services
 successfully.

 Any ideas, anyone?

Tadas

I've found Software Paradise pretty good.

Why would you want this info when software is almost invariably cheaper in the
US?

Can anyone enlighten me as to which version of TapCIS will use 14400 access to
CIS?

Geoff,

If I understand the question..  all the ones I use will. No comms program lets
you set it for 14400, you set them for 19200 or 38400 etc and lock things that
way...the modems

With Tapcis you can set the dialing directory entry for 19200 or whatever, and
also the Tapcis.cfg file can take a setting to lock speeds at a certain
number.   Hope that helps.

Steve

Thanks Steve,

I have adjusted the speed in the Par menu and have logged on to the London
node at 14400.  Does the Bristol node support 14400 yet?

You will need to be using Tapcis 5.42, not for the 14400 access, but you need
it to cope with the new forum software (V.3b(nn)) that was installed a couple
of months back (you can't Alt-J any forums or use Latin-1 otherwise).

For 14400 you just need to select the parameter screen and change the speed
that follows the telephone number to 19200

Only London so far for 14400.

Peter,

I've worked it out.  I was trying to set TapCIS for 14400 when Steve pointed
out I had to set it for 19000 (or whatever).  TapCIS will not accept Par
14400.  I have the relevent version of TapCIS.

If it was cross talk on BT lines you should find that if you run some other
BBS software it is also affected? Is this the case?

Rather than monkeying with a whizz-bang operating system like OS/2 why not try
something more mundane like DOS and a DOS based BBS program?

It isn't.  I put everything back in the boxes and started again.  It works
fine now. I have no idea what the cause was - the modem init strings are as
they were.

*NOTHING* would get me back to DOS or (shudder) Windows after two years on
OS/2.
 This is a REAL operating system - it reminds me very much of a user-friendly
MVS or VM.  No way, Jose!

Subject: Telex from Mac or Unix
Fm: Daniel Grady 75030,2125
To: All

I'm searching for a program that will allow me to Telex from several of my
company's networked Macintosh computers.  Either a Mac-based or a Unix-based
program would work for us.  The Macs run EtherTalk and TCP/IP, so they could
Telnet into a Unix machine if need be.  This solution will replace an aging
Lane Telex machine.  Features the users require are "full-text answerback"
(the answerback on the same page as the Telex that's sent, rather then a
separate confirmation) and automatic, unique numbering or identification of
send and received telex message.

I'll appreciate any advice that is given.  Thanks!

Dan,

I'm probably only going to sound pessimistic, but we have a Mac/Unix mix too
and would have been interested in computer based telex before we decided in
favour of fax. I don't know of anything at all. Have you asked your question
in MACCOMM and UNIXFORUM? It can't hurt.

John,
I've found three possible solutions.  Two are from the U.K.  One of
them runs on Macs -- from 4-Sight International (Bournemouth, Dorset,
BH2 6AW) (0202-764-401).  The other U.K. solution is from Primary
Systems, Ltd., called UniQ Telex.  They are at Unit 19, Grove Park,
Waltham Road, White Waltham, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 8LW.  Phone
0628-829-911.

Hope this helps you.  Let me know how things turn out, or if you find
anything else.
