Modem games no-go
Hi
Here's hoping that someone more familiar with modems can help me out. I'm
trying to play a PC version of "688 Attack Sub" via modem with a friend of
mine using my ATonce emulator. The game runs fine, albeit CGA graphics are
the pits. I can't get the modem to dial out or answer through the game.
My friend is using a Zoom modem and he doesn't seem to be having any
problems. I've sucessfully used ProComm Plus in IBM mode so I know that
the serial port configuration is O.K. I set the modem up to auto answer
via AT commands and the modem will answer, but the game doesn't recognize
the connection. I've had the same problem using a Shareware game called
"Modem Poker". I'm hoping that it will just be a matter of changing my
initialization string or something of that nature. Does anyone have any
ideas. Thanks for any help you can give.
George
