the SM out again and tell what errors it reports. That should
give you an idea of what signals you have to provide.
The modem itself is relatively unintellegent. There is no microprocessor,
for example, on the modem PCB. It appears the Integral's processor can
directly program the registers of the transmitter and receiver chips
(along, of course, with the 8250 serial chip's registers).
The point of that is that the _hardware_ is not going to require a
dialtone or anything like that. Of course what the Integral's software
requires is another matter.
I have no information at all on the modem device driver. I have no idea
what you can get it to do using the standard software.
I'm not sure and I don't remember seeing anything about it in any of the
system manuals.
PS After I replied last time I also got out the manual for the DataComm
program. It's NO help either. The only thing interesting that I found in it
Well, I'll need to find some program that supports it... Is there a
version of Kermit that would do that, I wonder...
I don't think HP released one but I'll bet someone somewhere did!
is that DataComm uses the "CPM style"
block data transfer. Other names that
they give for it include XModem. Of course that's no use to you unless
IIRC, XMdoem was developed from Modem7,
Yeap, that's one of the other names that they give.
which was one of the CP/M file
transfer programs. Personally, I'd be happier with
kermit, I have many
more machines that support it, I have the book for it, etc. But I'd
settle for XModem if nothing else is available.
you're going to run DataComm.
First problem is finding if I _have_ DataComm.
I have it and I have the manual. It's in the pile of the next stuff to go
to Al K to be scanned. There used to be a website of IPC software on the
net. I don't if it's still around but I think it is. BINGO!
<http://www.coho.org/~pete/IPC/bundled_dl.html> That took about 3 seconds
with Google. It has the Diagnostics and Utilities along with the System
files but I don't see DataComm. You might E-mail Peter and ask him if he
has it and can post it. You should also ask him about Kermit.
