#TAG-BBS
2 messages in this thread
Hi, My name is Mark Tosiello, and I am in the process of setting up a tag
system using a 512K Amiga and 2 drives. My modem is the Amiga Modem 1680. I
have had no trouble with the board, except when a caller exceeded his time
limit, and was disconnected. I was in the chat mode with him at the time, and I
noted that after his disconnection, when I went to pick up the phone for use
(to call him by voice, we were testing the system) I found that MY modem was
still sending out a sound that resembles the sound it makes when it detects a
carrier (that harsh, rushing 1200baud sound). I had to unplug the modem and
plug it in again to reset it. Is this a common problem???? I hve not been able
to get through on the AmigaBoard to ask what is going on–I think I am doing
everything correctly. Any suggestions?????
Thanks very much!!!!! The board works well otherwise.

Mark,
It sounds like you are not letting the Computer control DTR.
There is a dip switch on the back of the modem that allows controll
from the Computer. Also the Modem MUST NOT AUTO ANSWER. The BBS
must have FULL control over the modem. Hope this helps!
