Help! I dl'd Term 4.2 and tried to login to my graphics board support mailbox. What happened was: Term dialled the number; Term established the connection (19200/REL); Term locked up (sort of), ie: a) nothing appeared on screen and b) I couldn't type in anything (got only beeps instead). When I typed [R-Amiga H] (= Hangup), suddenly the box' login screen appeared, after the "User:" prompt were three plus signs ("+++"), in the line below that "NO CARRIER" and the modem hung up. I thought, "SH**, I was too impatient and hung up too quickly", and tired again, with the same results. What can this be? I didn't even have the "Protocol" in Serial prefs set to anything. So why can't I have a dialogue with my modem via Term and my keyboard? Apparantly all is well between Term and the modem as on startup Term resets the modem ("ATZ"->"OK"), the modem dials the number Term tells it to dial, the modem hangs up when Term tells it to do so, only I have no keyboard control whatsoever! (Sob!) |^(( BTW, I have no problems connecting to CI$ (as you can easily see) using the same serial.device, the same modem and the same keyboard (only AP instead of Term). Please? I'm desperate!
