Mitey Mo Help needed! Does anyone out there in netland own a Mitey Mo? If so, do they share my cancerous hatred for this vile contraption? I purchased this modem from USI because it was, in the company's words, "feature rich", and carried an attractive price tag. For many happy months I plugged away at telecommunication using the included software. Unfortunately when I tried to program the monster from basic I discovered, much to my horror, that it was not compatible to the mass-produced and popular Commodore 1650 modem. When I could no longer handle my modem's quirks I sent of an irate letter to USI. As it turned out, USI was no more, the Mitey Mo was now Computer Devices International's baby. They kindly sent along the remenants of technical stats on the Mite. PROGRAMMING THE MITEY MO FOR THE COMMODORE 64 Set the Data Direction Register: POKE 56579,38 Ring Indicator: IF PEEK(56577)AND8 = 0 THEN 'Ring' Carrier Detect: IF PEEK(56577)AND16 = 0 THEN 'Carrier' Pick up the phone: POKE 56577,4 Hang up the phone: POKE 56577,32 Set the modem to ORIGINATE: POKE 56577,2 Set the modem to ANSWER: POKE 56577,0 Dialing the modem: Pause 100 milliseconds between digits POKE 56577,32 then pause 60 millisecs. POKE 56577,4 then pause 40 millisecs. Using this material, I failed miserably to write my first modem program. If a kind, learned person would be so kind as to tell me the underlying difference between my modem and all others I would be forever grateful. Perhaps this gracious person would include a six or seven line basic program to illustrate the point? Send any mail to jordan@garfield.UUCP P.S. I think the Mitey Mo's problem is shared by the the Hesware modems and the new Commodore 1660. 'The snotgreen sea. The scrotumtightening sea.' - James Joyce
