Oliver, I've never used Term – but many of our members have. There is a way to change the serial settings, but you really need to have them set for 8-N-1 for Compuserve, and then have 'Strip High Bit' set so that text will appear normal. You'll neet the 8-N-1…
try doing the change with the modem turnedoff the porblem happens in teleterm too set a large buffer, try left amiga s to save the current bufffer
Thanks for your reply. Apparently the file is in ROM and accessed throught the dos.bmap file. Thanks Again!
Thanks so much for your help. My dos.bmap file may be corrupted. Thanks again!
#TERM4.5
Message #48651
Hi Betty, ========= Now – I`m still here. I`m searching for a good terminal-Programm. Now I have downloaded Term4.5. A very good Terminal-Programm! But – I can`t Set my Bits to 7 (for CS). What can I do??? I can change all Datas – but the Bits(7), and the Puffer…
David, >> and apparently have lost a file called "Dos.Library" Hehehe, you can't loose it, because it's in the Kickstart ROM of the OS. Looking into the (C) 1987 Absoft Corporation AC/BASIC Compiler Reference Manual, the problem you got may derive from the LIBRARY statement in your code: LIBRARY "dos.library"…
David, I just looked and I don't have "Dos.Library" so its not part of AmigaDOS 2.1 or 3.1. I don't have the AC-Basic Compiler so my guess would be that the Dos.Library came with the compiler or some other program. // \X/ Amiga lives? Gerald Bonnstetter, Bonnsoft

I just had a catastrophic hard drive crash on my Amiga 2000 on which I have 10 years of business accounting information. I've written my programs in AmigaBasic (using AC-Basic Compiler) and apparently have lost a file called "Dos.Library". I have the Dos.bmap file in my LIBS folder but no…
about that samba port… can you ost it on compuserve or at least give it's full ftp.address? bye. lepidovargas
#TCPIP and NFS
Message #48581
Commodore once beta-tested a version of their TCP/IP software that included an NFS server as well as client. I've also used an NFS server for WinNT called 'SOSS' that is an NFS server. I haven't tried it under Win95 yet, though. There's also a guy on the Internet who has…
I don't think the latest amosaic is here, but then you can pick that up later. I got it all working in one evening using ppp.device and a document that tells you exactly how to set up amitcp. I cannot however remember what the document was called and my amiga…
Oliver, Don't worry about your English. Spend the time downloading IINST151.LHA and the software you need for it. The description tells you exactly which files to download. Then, unpack them all and have InterInstall install and set them up for you. —Betty
There are two ways to capture everything that happens in an AutoPilot session. You can set the Log On on the SETUP screen, but there is a way to send it all to a file – an even more complete record. Have you read APDOCS? There are three versions in…
Malcolm, I'm not sure I can be of much help 'cos I don't know Supra modems, but just in case it applies I can tell you about how my USR does it ! There is a DIP switch for auto answer on the modem. If Autoanswer is disabled this could…
#Internet with Amiga???

Hello to all! ============= I have following trouble: i am new here – and i need an internet-gateway for my Amiga. Ive got Amosaic and Alynx – but now – how can I get startet through Compsuerve (I am Sorry for my teerrible-English!) Please, when you can – help me…
< I just checked mine, both with LHAdir (which isn't supposed to unpack it only show you what's in there and let you read the readme's or whatever) and actually unpacking it. Worked fine here… < Asha, how come I thought you'd say that! 🙂 I thought that LHAdir would…
> I don't have the exact names for them, but they will be in either Library 4 or Library 5 of AmigaUser. I believe AMosaic requires MUI, and you'll find that in AmigaTech. < Betty, thanks, I'll get a catalog of those areas, and search for them. > On your…
Jim, yes, those files are here, too. I don't have the exact names for them, but they will be in either Library 4 or Library 5 of AmigaUser. I believe AMosaic requires MUI, and you'll find that in AmigaTech. On your download – did it take an unusually long time,…
Jim,
> James, that is known to be a good file (IINST151.LHA)… Were you using LHA 1.38? < Betty yes I was, it's all I use for unpacking .lha files. That's the second file I had trouble with… can't remember the other one. If I have problems, and can't get it…
James, that is known to be a good file (IINST151.LHA), so something must have gone wrong in your machine, or else you got a bad download. Many people have used it, and you're the first to report problems with unpacking. Were you using LHA 1.38? —Betty
Randy, There are several ways you can do this. If your Amiga at home is running OS 2.1 or higher you have Crossdos, you can format a disk in PC format on your Amiga (or your PC) and sneaker-net the files that way. Or, you can send them to yourself…
> You might want to download IINST151.LHA from the AmigaUser < Asha, speaking of which, I downloaded it and tried to unpack it. When I did, it crashed my 3000! The second time I tried using the LHAdir(?) in Opus 5.12. It would show the files/directories in there, but wouldn't…
Randy, The easiest way to transfer from your Pentium to you Amiga would be with CrossDOS. If you have OS 2.1 or later, it is already a part of your system and you just have to activate it. If your OS is older, you can purchase CrossDOS for less than…
Randy,
I have one question about downloading software. I have no way to get it to my amiga. I am using a penitium at work, and have never been able to exchange info from either machine. Thanks again, Randy
Dear Steve, yes I checked-on the autoanswer box. I can receive manually just fine but not in autoanswer mode, which makes it a bit difficult. I also wonder how one is supposed to specify the number of rings before the machine picks up. I have queried Supra about this but…

#Software For Amiga 2000
Message #48512
Malcolm, about GPFax. I assume you have checked the autoanswer box on the options screen ? Also do not try and set autoanswer on the modem throught the init string (found in tooltypes in the GPFax icon), let GPFax do it for you. Also don't try and edit the init…
Randy, Just about any external modem can be hooked up to the Amiga. The cables we user are the same as on the clones, so that's not a problem either. The most recommended brands of modems are USR and Practical Peripherals. There are others that will work well also, but…
Randy, I don't know of any internal modems for the Amiga that are currently available, but you can use almost any external one. Just attach it to the serial port, get some software, and away you go. I use the Practical Peripherals modems with mine. We have lots of term…
That's easy, Randy A PC/Mac modem should work just fine. Check the cable. For CompuServe, download Autopilot. (AP.LHA) For Internet, download IINST151.LHA Hope this helps Rafa …via AutoPilot 1.80 from Berlin

I have an Amiga 3000 and was wondering what it would take to get a decent modem at a good price that worked in the Amiga, and what software could be used to get to Compuserve/Internet. Thanks for the information, Randy Martin

Software For Amiga 2000
Message #48495
Malcolm, Let's work on the AP.LHA. I think that would solve your other problems, and it is VERY easy to solve. First, look in AmigaUser forum, Library 14, for LHA138.RUN, and download it. Then, do these: 1. Copy LHA138.RUN to RAM: 2. open a shell and type: LHA138.RUN 3. Copy…
William Wow! Thanks for all your explanation! But I'm a spaniard working in Germany. And my surname comes from Italy, I think, but I cannot give you that detailed explanation. Best regards Rafa …via AutoPilot 1.80 from Berlin
William, Look at your serial prefs and see if you have flow control set to RTS/CTS. That can make a difference. Be sure you have a phone number typed in and selected, and set with the right speed, on your SETUP screen. If you are calling a CompuServe node, you…
All the way from Deutchland!! Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try. I know that you can see that I have German ancestry by my name. Well, the patriarch of the Gruber family came from Austria in 1747 and landed in Baltimore Md. Later he moved to Pennsylvania and…

Glad to meet you Asha. I have downloaded autopilot but at present it won't ask modem for a dial tone. thank you for your help, Ill try it and get back to you.

Thanks again Betty, I guess I'm going to be a pain 'til I get up to speed. I unpacked autopilot using the routine you gave me. It seemed to work okay until I tried to come online. Then it wouldn't ask the modem for a dial tone. (bocafax 96/24 modem)…
William >Please have patience with my stupidity< Your question does make sense. I cannot see any stupidity from your part! If you have an A500, wb2.1, just download AmigaGuide (AGUIDE.LHA I think, not sure) from AmigaUser libraries. Multiview needs a 3.1 ROM, which you don't have. You can happily read…

I keep hearing about Amigaguide and multiview. I would like to get both of these. How can I do this? I have an Amiga 500, wb2.1,3meg ram, and 40mb hd. Will either of these run on my setup and can I download them? I'm new to Compuserve and really to…
Chris, Go to AmigaVendor forum, Library 9, and download AP.LHA. If you don't have the LHA unarchiver, get it from Library 14 of AmigaUser forum – LHA138.RUN. LHA138.RUN is self-dissolving – just CD to the directory where you have it and type its name. It will unpack, giving you LHA…

Having problems using DiskSalv2.0 to recover an unvalidated disk. When I ran validate with DiskSalve, it found and eliminated the corrupted files and then left my disk NDOS!! When I tried running Salvage procedure on it, the initial scan stops one-sixth of the way through and hangs the program. I…
I would have thought it would be quite easy to add the signals, you could just steal them from the serial or joystick ports. It is not ideal but it _WOULD_ work Phill

I have an Atlas 4.3GB running on my Amiga. I actually had the same question as you here on CIS 1-2 months ago. But I got no response here on CIS. The first problem I had was getting HDToolBox work right with a drive bigger than 2GB. While the partition…
