From Alexandr Tkachev To All 8 July 2002

Hello, All! Here is a question I have for you ALL, and no one has tried to force MMD working with sabzhe Momed in my opinion is quite realistic, or is it for no one? no need? I tried tinkering with the driver in general, made a call, and picked up the bizyu sends data from momed to momed even to the bbsyu office called everything is visible It’s a pity that ANSI doesn’t understand, although I haven’t tried it with a remote spec in general what is your opinion?

Our opinion is this: this driver is desperately needed. Firstly, he will allow non-Petersburg residents to use MMD's software. Secondly, the same Non-Petersburg residents will be able to play our modem games. Thirdly, if sysops agree to install such drivers on their BBS, then the speed of data exchange with SPbZXNet will increase significantly, and There will be more users at stations. I was planning on doing this myselfit’s a matter of writing, if you write it, it will be cool. But here it is necessary make sure that the driver is not crooked, otherwise it will turn out to be a mess. To do this you need: 1. For the driver to work with both Hayes and Vicomm at the same time. When catching a call, it should first beep Vikom, and if Vikom does not respond, squeak Hayes. Choice of what Connect depends on the choice of speed: 600, 1800 and 2400 I propose to traditionally leave it to Wicomm. 2. Enable “active” and “passive” connection modes in driver. Necessarily! In general, write how things are going ;) Have a nice meeting, Alexandr.

This means you need to enter the commands ONLINE_ACTIVE, ONLINE_PASSIVE.

Again, DTR can only be pulled if the modem is configured correctly. Looks like AT&D2, but I could be wrong. In general, this should work combination: and the modem will go into command mode by responding "OK" (unless reply is enabled), in command mode you can issue the ATH0 command.

Only if for Hayes you can do this: at what speed We've connected and we're working on that one, but it's more difficult with the Wicomm: it has 3 speeds!

You can disable this function for Hayes: use MMD connection only in case of calling one to another. But there are other thoughts about this: everything that is typed in the MMD terminal and automatically flies to the driver for transmission. Usually there The flag is checked that there is no connection, and a return to the MMD occurs via RET. Yes here: the driver can analyze terminal symbols coming to it, and The sequences "ATA+#0D" and "ATX3D+#0D" will automatically enable a connection. Vega/ex-Style Group.

Hello Vlad! 10 Jul 02 16:00, Vlad Sotnikov -> Aleksandr Majorov: [skipped] AM>> Wrong. AM>> If I call, then I know what kind of modem is there. AM>> I set the speed to wiki - I’m working with wiki AM>> set the speed to "chaes" - I'm working with chaos. VS> That's right. Only if for Hayes you can do this: on which VS> speeds have been connected, that’s what we’re working on, but with Wicomm it’s more difficult: y VS> it has 3 speeds! If you only make the speed “vicomm”, then what is it? VS> will it be: 600, 1800 or 2400? Hehe, and also a programmer! ;) Here: the new driver will consist of two parts: - old Wycombe part - the dirty part. We remake all points of access to the modem like this: POINT_### LD A,(SPEED) CP HAYES_SPEED JP Z, POINT_HAYES_### JP POINT_VICOMM_### That's all! Now we set the "auto-speed detection" flag. We choose _any_ Wicom speed(!). And we are waiting for a response from the remote party. Having received the answer, we return, among other things, a new one, Vicom speed at which something was transmitted to us... AM>> Machine that removes the tube; AM>> if the speed is wiki, we squeak with wiki AM>> if the speed is "haes" - squeak with haes. VS> What if this is an automatic BBS? Which they can call _or_ VS> Wycombe, _or_ Hayes? Should the sysop set the speed manually? From time A to time B - haes, from time B to time C - Vicom, etc. Or: pick up the phone with a vicom, request/greeting. If they didn’t answer in 10 seconds, they switched to Khaesnyu speed and said ATA (Active connection) AM>> This is easier/more convenient to do and the connection will be established faster. VS> It may be easier to do, but not more convenient to use. Yes and VS> versatility is lost. After all, what is the idea: let’s say there is node /2. VS> Which serves both Wicom specialists and Hayes specialists. With MMD on Spec. /2 will not be such a node!!! :-) I already have a high load on the line: two modems (XTR + haes), telephone and call number... I won’t put another chaos in Speck! ;) Whoever wants it calls the HRC with haes. [skipped] AM>> For haes, it’s just giving two different commands - it’s not difficult.
