RS-232 in TP ???
Hi there!
Is there anyone out there who can help me with how to manage serial
communication in TP (version 5.0 if that matters). I've heard that
it doesn't have to be that complicated.
I know my TP well so the real problem in my project is just the
"COMMS" part. If anyone has experience of this kind of programming and
has any good pieces of advice, I would appriciate it very much if you
could provide me with these and/or show me some actual source-code
that handles this matter.
My computer is an IBM-compatible AT (Toshiba 3200) with a 9-pin
serialport. I'm going to communicate with a Hayes-compatible modem
(supra-modem 2400).
I've tried using dos to just send to the modem
(you know: Copy filename com1),
even thought this works it doesn't help me in anyway.
I've got to be able to recieve also!!!
I'm not looking for a professionell communicationprogram, but a simple one
(hopefully in TP source code).
Thanks in advance /Richard Houltz
