[net.micro.apple] Ascii Express

lui@ucla-cs.UUCP (12/04/84)

I am using ASCII Express with the Apple IIc. I connected it to a Racal
Vadic VA212 modem. For some reason, all I get on the screen is garbage.
I tried modify the # of bits, parity, etc. but that doesn't seem to help.

First of all, does anyone have a similiar setup? How did you connect
the IIc port to the modem (i.e. pin to pin connections)? What settings
do you use to connect to a VAX?

p.s. Anybody have a manual for ASCII Express

Hi All,

Well I've heard that it supposed to emulate a VT52. I've never been able to
see this done at any of the Dealers I went to. They've even called up the
the HOTLINE and with there help it didn't work!!

I finally went and bought Softerm II and am using it no. It works great!!!
It emulates a VT102 and will also do a VT200 series soon. I strongly recco-
mend it....

Those are the parameters I recall also.  I don't know if it makes a difference
with different boards;  mine uses the Apple Super Serial Card.

Ascii express will emulate any of a number of terminals--there are
around 10 canned emulations-- or you can set appropriate parameters.
You have to remember that internally the software emulates a terminal
of some strange variety & a translation must be done to have it 
appear as a vt52 to the outside world.  On the incoming & 
outgoing terminal selections, I believe the correct choices are 6 & 5.
