[comp.sys.apple] HELP!!

C70301RC@WUVMD.BITNET (Rob Caton) (01/11/89)

I forgot to include some info in my last posting.  The default setup
for the Practical Peripherals 1200SA are as follows:

sw1:  Ignore DTR
sw2:  Full-word result codes
sw3:  Result code enabled
sw4:  Command Echo ON
sw5:  Auto Ans. disabled
sw6:  Ignore DCD
sw7:  Not used
sw8:  Enable commands
sw9:  BELL 103/212A
sw10: M/S Ratio - USA

Right now when I connect, garbage characters appear anytime the BBS
prompts me for input.  In other words, I can read what the BBS is sending
me, but I can't send anything back because it inserts garbage.  At almost
every prompt the "{" character appears, and my typing appears as random
characters.  By the way, this is when I am using Apple Access //.  My
Applelink disk dials and connects, but then is stays on connect for
about 30 seconds, hangs up, calls the second number, hangs up, and comes
back with the "error code #01" message.  Everything worked fine with
my 300 bps switchless Prometheus modem, but that's gone now.  Can anyone
help me?  Thanx!!

The factory defaults should work just fine.  Have you perhaps an older
//c (that has the famous timing problem -- only shows up on SOME modems
- actually most 1200 or faster EXCEPT the Apple modem)?  Those symptoms
sound supiciously like what happened when a friend's Apple modem died
and she bought an Avatex (the upgrade is FREE at any Apple dealer --
techinically, you're supposed to have a "proof of purchase" for your
PP modem, but dealers around here don't ask).

If it's not the //c timing problem, I'd suspect the cable before I'd
suspect the Apple or the modem.
