#Whap! Suggestion
Message #3437
Jim I have a suggestion. As I was reading some messages, I began thinking, would'nt it be nice if we had a print option in the reading screen. So that we could print the msg on screen for further reference. And maybe we would have a place in the paramaters…

Whap! Headaches
Message #1573
Hi Jim, I tried that program you recommended (Whap12.arc). It helped quite a bit. Whap set all the parameters like it was supposed to (I Guess), then it even sent an easyplex msg to Jim Stevens. It then went to CBMART like it was supposed to. Once in CBMART, Wahp…
#Whap! Headaches
Message #1131
Hi Jim, I can't seem to get off first base with Whap! It set the new permanent settings: Brief [Yes], EasyPlex [Notify Only] and Top [Main]. Thats it as far as I can tell. Then it locks up at one of the prompts, so I have to abort. When I…

Pat, I'm sorry, I gave you the wrong information. I had the old version of Nag (Nag03). I downloaded Nag12 and it seems to work just fine. I used only the files I intended to use, and saved the rest to another disk for possible later use. To get Nag…

Mine has a ram disk in workbench that does not go away if I trashcan it or if I reset the amiga. Is this normal. As far as the manaual is concerned, its not. Bruno
Steve I know that, but this darn thing wont let me type anything in it just keeps repeating host name continuously. I guess compuserve is recieving something (even though I'm not sending anything) because after about three request for host name it starts writing error after host name. this is…

Hi Greg, maybe you can help me. I have an avatex 1200 modem and ONLINE terminal prgm. Problems is when I get the CONNECT promt from prgm, and I hit carraige return I keep getting host name over and over again. It dosnt let me get anything in. Maybe you…
No Marlene, I only use commpuserve. I'M like in limbo I don't know if its the computer serial port or the ONLINE prgm or the modem. Lucky I still have my old C64 to fall back on. Thanks for youur help. I'll be waiting for the sysop you mentioned. C/U/L…
Marlene, thanks. I think I'm going to have to take that route since I can't seem to connect properly to compuserve with ONLINE. Keep getting host name over and over agn.
No good Marlene, I tried it and nothing happens. I get all the way to when the ONLINE prgm gives me a CONNECT prompt, and then it just keeps repeating host name. I just can't seem to figure this one out. I just ran out of ideas. Bruno /ex

#A2000
Message #84770
Hi, do you happen to know if the A2000 has a male or female plug were the modem plugs into? I bought an avatex 1200 modem with cables. Both sides of my cables have male plugs. Will they fit on the a2000? As you may have gathered, I havent recieved…
Hey John, thanks you've been a great help. C/U/L Bruno
#Printers
Message #84417
I read a letter from someone on this forum stating that the Okimate said that the 292 would not work with the amiga unless it was an ibm type 292? Have you ever heard of two types of 292's? I saw a 292 listed for $455.00 and was going to…
Thanks Don, I thought I'D be buged with jitters all of the time. I have seen the Max Headroom series. So the amiga can do all of that, that is something. Well thanks agn Don. C/U/L Bruno
OK I got it. So I take for granted that commodore does not make a high persistance monitor right now, or makes one thats unsatisfactory. With so many high persistance monitors out there I wonder why all the complaints about jitters. I have not checked but maybe price is one…
Steve, so any high persistance monitor should work with the Amiga as long as its not a Mac monitor? Is this correct? Bruno
Thanks John for your prompt reply. You've helped me a great deal. Thanks again. Bruno
Hi, do you get rid of jitters with the 1201? Bruno

Thanks for the info Don will do. I was looking thru my old computer magazines and read an article on the Amiga 1300 Genlock (SEPT. 1986 POWER PLAY). Sounds pretty good. If you have a Genlock, does it live up to its advertizing? And what does the Genlock sell for??…

Hi, I will be joining the amiga world soon and was wondering whats a good modem for an amiga. I have a C64 with a 1660 modem. Is it possible to use a 1660 with an amiga? Is it possible for me to download with my C64 programs that are…
