Good idea! Steve
Fax Software Needed
Message #81712
I'm looking for fax software for my GVC 14,400 v.42 modem. I've downloaded the AmigaFax demo but I haven't been able to get it to work. My fax manual that came with the modem is absolutely useless. They say that the best way to use the fax is with the…
I'll think you'll find that direct contact with John and a few of the others who run slip applications will be a great help. Steve
I just received some mail from the amiga-slip group. To suscribe, send mail to amiga-slip-request@ccs.carleton.ca. Steve
John's address is: john@nessie.mcc.ac.uk. At the moment I can't find the amiga-slip address but if I find it I'll let you know. Another person you might want to try and contact is Thomas Lydhig mlednor@tower.demon.co.uk. He seems to know about the slip-dialing in AmigaNOS. Steve
I hope you downloaded anos29.lha as well. The akit is just the support directories. Here's (to the best of my memory) what I did to set up a slip connection between my Amiga and AT. Specify your ip address set up an entry for the remote computer in your domain.txt…
Sounds like your figuring it out. I finally moved my computer from my old house to the new house and hope to get some time to play with it. If you have access to the internet, I'll dig John Heaton's address out of one of the boxes and send it…
The receive command is used to wait for an expected response from the modem or whatever before continuing (I think). The kit file on here is probably for an older version. The first version I saw the nos-dial function was 2.9j. I'm not sure what you mean by abort the…

Look for a separate downloadable file like "akit29g.lha". This is JOhn's working setup. Steve
tcp/slip
Message #79764
I'll give you John Heaton's mail address and let him explain the program to you and how you might get it to work. John has been very helpful in adding and changing AmigaNOS. He might possibly be able to solve your problem. Steve
I think you need a 'send "atdt 453xxxx" and for waiting use the 'receive' command. I haven't played with it much and am not sure. My Amiga is actually several miles away at the moment as I've moved and haven't moved the amiga yet. If you can find the AmigaNOS…
I had the AT running G1EMM's version of KA9Q's NOS. I used a null-modem cable. I 'attached' the slip line and then gave a ro add at.ve3sdj sl0. Any telnet to at.ve3sdj would connect to the at over the slip line. I could log on to either computer over the…
I think that most comm programs such as JR-Comm have a setting that allows you to keep DTR high on exit. I think it should be configurable. I've actually done it once or twice but never got AmigaNOS running. I didn't experiment much with it. Are you sure about the…
I was just rereading your message and noticed a few things. The param command does not allow you to set your baud rate. The attach command does that. The param command allows you to send values out to a tnc to set up the tnc's kiss parameters. Things like persisitance,…
The version I'm running (2.9j as it says on the title screen) opens a file in the slip directory called nos-dial. It contains commands that are sent to the serial port. I've seen the trace screen and its opening the file and reading the commands. I haven't played with it…
#tcp/slip
Message #79080
AmigaNOS v2.9g won't handle sending commands to the modem except possibly trying the param command and sending bytes that way. I haven't played with the slip much except for a slip-connection over the serial port to an IBM-AT but I'd guess that you would have to dial the #, exit…
I'm running 2.04 with a GVP 25 mhz 68030. The display is the stock 1084. So far I haven't seen any bugs. The password option now seems to work. I haven't been able to get it to slip-dial yet but haven't tried things out lately. Steve
#AmigaNOS v2.9j
Message #78537
I'll try and upload AmigaNOS v2.9j sometime early next week. For those of you with Internet access, you can get it from 130.88.200.4. From what I can tell so far, slip-dialing has been added. So far it doesn't work for me but I've only just begun!! Steve
I'm not sure which version is on the fish disks. I believe its quite old. I just got the latest (v2.9j) which includes slip-dialing. If I get some time I'll upload it here. Look for it beginning of next week unless someone beats me to it. I've used the older…
Have you looked at AmigaNOS? The latest version (which isn't on Compuserve) should have slip-dialing. Steve
Thanks Bill, I think John's site is not very reachable from North America. He sometimes posts on ucsd but he didn't mention it this time. Steve
Thanks Bill, I couldn't remember your cis number and didn't have my address book with me. Steve
AmigaNOS 2.9i
Message #77023
Hi Bill, I don't know if you've seen it but AmigaNOS v2.9i is now available. It's on jh.mcc.ac.uk or probably ucsd. According to John, he's fixed a few bugs and added slip-dialing. Could you see if you can find it and upload it here? Thanks Steve
AmigaNOS
Message #76459
Not sure if anyone's interested but the amiga.datacomm newsgroup mentioned a mod'ed version of AmigaNOS that would do slip-dialing. I've also got the mailing address for the amiga-slip group if anybody wants it. Steve
I 'd like to see a history file which would tell you of new features that have been added or what has been changed. Sure would save alot of time going through the various menus. Steve
You might want to check out the amiga vendor forum. Black Belt Systems can be found there. They make a plug-in card for the Amiga that I've heard good things about. I'm not into satellites at all so I'll let somebody else fill you in on receivers and antennas Steve
There's never any doc files!!! Its quite frustrating but I guess John has his hands full writing the software. He mentioned porting over the PA0GRI docs but I guess that hasn't materialized. I asked if he would mind if I did some documentation for the program but he wasn't too…
Thats probably why it won't work for me. Thanks, Steve
Thanks Bill, I've stopped using the alias command altogether except for local forwarding. I've been able to get it to write the full path when I type a name but the rewrite file seems to ignore it and it doesn't forward properly. Steve
Hi Darron, look for the mbox commads under mbox profile. Most config stuff have been moved there. As for the ftp or telnet problems, make sure you have the ls (I think thats the one) in your c directory. If you start AmigaNOS from a shell window with mbox trace…
Hi Bill, thanks for the files. I finally figured out my problem. To keep the file readable, I used a tab in between the name and the rewrite name. Apparently AmigaNOS interpreted the tab as a blank field. I changed the tabs to spaces and everything is going out ok…
Hi Bill, when I use the *@ve3oy, the message is put into the ve3oy.txt mail file. When it actually gets forwarded its sent to ve3oy as: s ve3aoi @ ve3oy < ve3sdj and the recipient gets the mail. I was hoping that all my mail for people who pick up…
Can you give me a rundown on how your mail forwarding system works? I tried to alias a friend, Barrie, with Barrie ve3aoi@ve3oy. Then in my rewrite file I have *@ve3oy ve3oy. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work when I use sp barrie. If I use sp ve3aoi@ve3oy then everything…
The header information is correct. The text displayed is jumbled. Its possible that its not getting any linefeeds but its hard to tell. It only seems to happen to longer packets. I'll try putting forty characters in the password and see what happens. Steve
I've checked out the mbox forwarding and it appears that the messages are going out OK. I watched a scrambled trace then logged into the board and read the message. The text was fine. A few fellows that were using the chatnode said they didn't see any scrambled packets even…

#AmigaNOS v2.9g
Message #71888
Haven't noticed anything strange the last 2 days but I have some mail going out to a board that I regularily forward to and will see what happens. Steve
I've grown tired of the backup, reformat and restore cycle. I'm archiving a 40 meg drive onto floppies and its starting to take a while. I can't afford a tape backup unit yet but hopefully soon. thanks Steve
#Program needs.
Message #67460
I have two program needs. The first need is for a utility that will allow me to insert an IBM 720k 3-1/2" floppy into my Amiga drive and read the information from it. I seem to recall something about a program that would allow me to do this. The IBM…
AmigaNOS v2.9c
Message #63531
The latest version of AmigaNOS (v2.9c) is over in the hamnet/packet library. Looks like the memory leak is fixed. I've got mine up and running and it appears stable. Also figured out how to log into the local chatnode instead of going through the BBS. Type 'chatnode' and when it…
AmigaNOS v2.9c
Message #63451
AmigaNOS v2.9c is now in the hamnet/packet library. I've downloaded it and am now running it. The memory leak seems to be fixed (at least my system hasn't crashed on it yet). I've also figured out the chatnode command at the main menu. It does log you into the chatnode…
I think I'll try a new cable first. If that doesn't work then I'll try the shielded scsi cable. Steve
Thanks, I never thought of that. The cable I have now has some scrapes and it is possible that a connection is being broken. I'll try a new cable and see if the problem continues. Steve
My guess is my power supply is noisy and the scsi cable is picking it up. I might try switching the power supply and seeing whether that cures the problem. I think the location of the scsi connector beside the power supply might not be such a good idea. The…
GVP SCSI problem
Message #63010
Has anyone had any troubles with the GVP combo board and its scsi interface? It seems the positioning of the SCSI cable with respect to the power supply in my A2000 is critical. If the cable is in the wrong position the amiga won't boot and comes up with GURU…
Looks like my problem might have been caused by a loose autoboot prom. I reseated it and the 2000 seems to work OK now. Sounds too simple to be the fix though so I'll keep my eye on it. The hardframe is about 2 years old. What I found confusing…
That's one of the first things I checked. I just pulled it out and reseated it and the problem appears to have disappeared. My A2232 card is not working now and will try reseating it. Hopefully my problem was just caused by a loose autoboot rom. The fellow at GVP…
GVP combo problem.
Message #61235
I'm having problems with a GVP combo board I bought and wonder if anybody has any suggestions. I've got the GVP 68030/25/1 combo. When I enable the scsi drive connected jumper and hook up my Quantum 40meg drive, I get a recoverable error when I try to boot. Pressing the…
TTR WARNING!
Message #60736
I think your missing the point Mark. Selling equipment that doesn't work properly is not the main point. Any dealer can sell equipment that he believes to work but for one reason or another doesn't. This could be due to a manufacturer problem. Posting a message bashing a dealer because…
#GVP Accelerators
Message #60586
Can anyone tell me their experiences with the GVP 68030 accelerators? I'm looking at purchasing the 68030/25/1 without a harddrive for my Amiga 2000. My 2000 currently has a 2286 BB, A2232 multi-port board, ICD adram, Supra 2400zi, microbotics hardframe 2000 with a 40 meg. quantum. I'm planning on getting…
I'm doing the same thing. I tried the bitnet ftp server to find out that it doesn't support ftp's unless there connected to the same net. Steve
