tcp/slip
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 enough to determine
whether the commands are actually being sent to the serial port but it
looks like its trying. If you take a look at John's kit file that he
usually uploads, you will see that he initializes a TNC by sending it "kiss
on" and "reset". I believe he's doing this with the param command. He has
a small table that's commented into his startup that shows the ascii values
to send out to the port to do this. I've actually commanded my tnc into
kiss mode by sending the ascii characters to it. This should also work for
slip-dialing. I'm not sure I understand your problem with manually dialing
a connection with a term program, exiting the program and firing up
AmigaNOS. If the term. program releases the serial port, why can't
AmigaNOS then open it? Steve
