I am trying to play Battlechess on a gs computer over the phone line. However, both of us have Datalink 2400 modems rather than a external connected to a SSC. We can connect and send messages, but the moves do not work. HELP!!!!!! We have also tried connecting then going into battlechess still connected, with worse results. HELP US!!!! TSEMM@ALASKA.BITNET

We can connect and send messages, but the moves The DataLink should work the same as an external connected to an SSC. I also have a DataLink 2400. I tell ProTERM that I have an Apple SSC and Hayes Smartmodem 2400. I have no problems with this. You might try this setting with your game.

I've never heard of the DataLink having an External Modem emulation. There is nothing in the books about it. It is Hayes compatable, but I don't think it is compleatly SSC compatable.

Its not really that it emulates a SSC, it just has some settings that make it look like a SSC (and External Modem) to applications that would prefer that configuration.

RE: Datalink 2400 as external modem
The datalink 2400 DOES act just like a 2400 baud external modem connected
to a super serial card for most purposes. In fact, the fact that it is
SSC compatible is the reason I bought it -- I use it daily for banking at
home via modem and while the bank supports the Apple II line, it does not
have GS support and does NOT support the built-in com port.
I also have battlechess and although I have not tried communicating with
it, I believe the manual indicated that it ONLY SUPPORTS 300 BAUD. Check
the manual -- if this is true, make sure you set the Datalink to 300 baud.
Hope this helps.

The point is it Battlechess isn't quite working. The program changes the setings, but when I put in a move, the receiving end gets teh character in a mes sage rather than as a chess move! Any help?
