JR-Comm line wrap
Message #17248
Hello all, I am still having trouble getting line wrap to work with JR-Comm. Jack posted something about choosing the line wrap button and then choosing your term emulation, but that doesn't seem to work either. It is getting very annoying when in cb or con as I can never…
Jack, Let me see if I've got this right. In order to get line wrap, I should set that button and then hit the term emulation button that I want? I thought I had done this, but I will try again. Is version 1.02 finished or soon to be? Thanx,…

#hard drive problems
Message #16234
Hi All! I have been having trouble with a particular partition on my hard disk lately (i.e. volume xx has a read/write error), but it seems to be sporadic and irreproducible. Also, choosing retry from the requester seems to make it go away 99% of the time (tho' sometimes the…
I saw the new version today, and I may go ahead and download it … I just have to decide whether the annoyance of the modem speaker coming on is worth the $$$ of downloading it from here or whether I can wait for a Fish disk (or get it…
Steve, my getty command uses 'getty -c0 -B2400 -m0 -Mh -7' … see any problems with that? jake
#UUCP modem speaker probs
Message #15592
Hello Out There! I am using Matt Dillon's UUCP package and I can't figure out how to ensure that my modem speaker never comes on. My modem is fully hayes compatible and I have tried everything to make it shut up, but sometimes when it is calling out with uucico…
I have used 'pcomm' and had a fair amount of success with it … it does flake out occasionally, and as I remember, it fails utterly on the most recent release of SunOS (4.1) … I have found that the most reliable and available serial file transfer protocol is kermit.…
Edwin, Ahhh, yes … the old uucp feed problem. Unfortunately these days, it is getting hard to find a site that will even give you a mail feed (i.e. no news, just demand feed for mail traffic in either direction). One possibility for people who can't find a feed is…
Edwin, I would hope that the distinction between devices and files is not an issue in any version of UNIX (esp. the Amiga version, because when I can get it for my 3000, i can finally ditch the intel slime machine that lurks here in my office). The whole idea…
Steve, Just be aware that pcomm can be a bit flakey … jake
Andy, As I understand, GNU is waiting on Carnegie-Mellon to finish their non-AT&T Mach kernel and they plan on incorporating that into GNU. At last report, CM is still working on Mach (or perhaps their lawyers are trying to figure out how to make it AT&T lawsuit-proof). Once that is…
There is a procomm clone called pcomm for unix boxes that does what you'd like (most of the time 🙂 … I believe it is public domain and available over the internet … I can probably track down more info for you if you need it … jake
Jack, My wife needs to connect to a UNIX box at work. The terminal she uses at work is an AT&T (786?,756?, she'll check today) and has 14 function keys. The software on the UNIX box seems to be most comfortable with this type of term (the software is AT&T…
jr-comm function keys
Message #13916
Hi folks! I am using vt100 emulation with JR-Comm and I am having problems having the function keys recognized … some of them seem to work, and others don't … and there seems to be very little correspondence between the numbers of the function keys on my 500 and the…

#UUCP on the A3000
Message #9085
Well, I have been trying to get UUCP running between my 500 and my 3000 over a hardwired (null-modem'd) connection and I got very close … with a bit of fudging (anyone out there know how you are supposed to set things up for a direct connect (i.e. no dialing,…
Upon further investigation, that appears to be exactly why he is using Forbid() and Disable() as he is setting the baud rate to 280000 … emit certainly isn't meant as a general purpose comm prog, but as a high speed file transfer … i may well extend it to do…
Well … I kinda knew that, but your explanation was great! … it appears that Forbid/Disable are done during the entire transfer of data from one side to the other … I don't think this is a short period of time (of course depending on the size of the file…
#emit v2.0
Message #8519
I just got a copy of emit v2.0 by Justin V. McCormick (in the file emit.arc in one of the libraries around here) and it seems to work quite well (even on the 3000 under WB2.0) … he says that it is a hack and he is not sure of…
I am a terrible UNIX (and AmigaDOS) bigot, but I steer clear of TROFF .. I use Pagestream for that sort of thing … jake – via Whap!
Just to add my $0.02 … in my line of work (computer consulting), i find that vi is the *BEST* editor as it is portable … i can run it under any particular flavor of UNIX that you want to name as well as MS-DOS, OS/2 or AmigaDOS … if…
bbs listing?
Message #7726
Is there a file in one of the libraries (or somewher else) that lists Amiga BBS's? I have looked in the communications library and didn't find anything … pointers anyone? jake – via Whap!
sources for RAM
Message #4429
I am looking for a (good?) source for chips to upgrade my currently 2M RAM A3000 … also any strategies (what type of ZIPs, etc. etc.) to get maximum expandability for the future would be helpful … thx! jake – via Whap!
#new RKM's?
Message #4425
Sorry if i'm in the wrong place … i'm just getting used to whap! and i haven't quite figured out all it's nuances … i was just wondering if there is a new set of RKMs for 2.0 and if not (which i consider likely) then how reliable is my…
