Good morning. If the following items have been discussed already I've missed them due to busy-ness. I've been trying to get the vt100 emulator running (V2.1 DBW 860915), and I ran across the following line in filename() in window.c: if (class=RAWKEY) This looks funny to me. The variable "class" isn't used anywhere else, so the assignment seems kinda weird. Should it be comparison: if (class==RAWKEY) ? The last several scan lines of the window title bar are (usually) over-written by the first line of text. But not always; I've seen the title bar overwrite the top half of the first line, too. Is this a bug or a feature? Also, I know hangup isn't implemented, but even when I type "<pause>+++<pause>H0<return>" it won't hang up the phone. I'm not sure if this is the program's or the modem's fault (see below). It's a nice piece of work. Certainly beats hell out of OnLine!. Speaking of which: I have a modem that is barely functional (Peachtree Technology P1200) and it sends OnLine! into fits. The vt100 emulator works like a charm under the exact same conditions in which OnLine! barfs ad infinitum and freezes up the machine.

Many commercial modem programs are TOO smart for their own good. Some try to figure out your modem for you and when you don't have a Hays compatible modem that can cause problems... worse, some don't even allow you to talk to the modem yourself... they have to 'connect'... Fortunetly, VT100 and most PD modem programs I've seen don't fall into this category. -Matt

Your problem hanging up is quite simple. This will work for any true Hayes compatible. <pause one second> +++ <pause one more second> ATH Now notice the AT? That's vital to anything happening. Without 'AT' the modem ignores everything you type. By the way, some modems (like the Commodore 1670 for the 64/128) just plain hang up after just the +++ If you don't want +++, you can change it with ATS2=### where ### is the ascii code for the number you want to use instead of + If you manage to screw things up in your modem, type ATZ which resets everything. I also type ATS0=0 at the begining which disables auto-answer so that when my call waiting (a necessary evil) beeps, the modem hangs up but doesn't try to answer for me...) Dan Wallach
