#AMIGA! help!!
12 messages in this thread
does anyone know how to get this program to wait for a carrier signal and
transmit a ^C? Wait "CONNECT" doesn't seem to work for me. I'm open to all
suggestions.

Allen, what is AMIGA! ? Just out of curiousity – you're not using 1200 baud
are you? The reason I ask is that then you would be asking it to Wait "CONNECT
1200" or 2400 whatever. Marlene
I've tried it with and without '2400' and the result is the same. Do you know
if anyone's gotten it to work at all?
-Allen
Allen, I still don't know which term pgm you are using. Are you sticking in a
2 second delay before the Ctrl-C ? Marlene
Sorry Marlene. I meant to put DIGA! rather than Amiga for the subject. What
I've found so far is that any wait for connect command seems to blow the whole
thing. If I remove that 'wait for' I'll at least get my ID and password to go
through. But in either case I still can't get Diga to transmit ^C.

Allen, BROwse thru DL4 there are some script files for Diga! there that may
help. If it doesn't – let us know. marlene
I'll bet this is another DIGA! problem. Are you scripting an automatic
logon sequence for Compuserve? If so, the problem may be that you aren't
waiting after receiving the "CONNECT" string. Simply use a sequence like:
WAIT "CONNECT"
DELAY 5
SEND "^C"
WAIT "ID:"
This may not be a strictly DIGA! problem, but this is where it was most
obvious to me.

Thank you Dave, I'll try it and let you know.
-Allen
Sorry David. I think your idea is a good one but I think Diga has more bugs in
it then any "tested" program has a right to. Thanks anyway.
-Allen
David,
That particular problem (needing the delay) isn't unique to Diga! or
any other terminal program. CIS doesn't recognize the ^C if typed immediately
after connect, you have to wait just a moment before sending it (a second if
fine) and then CIS will recognize it.

I agree Don. Its just that I ran into that first with Diga! and geared
myself accordingly with other systems. However, Diga! also has bugs around
this in that (under MANY circumstances) things like the output from the modem
(the "CONNECT" string) and the ^C never show up. Maybe they work, maybe they
don't, but the output doesn't initially show up on the Diga! screen. Is it any
wonder that I dropped Diga! in favor of VT100?!?
David Masterson
I decided to try again David, starting from scratch and including your delay
before the ^C. It works fine now. Figures. Thanks again.
