I am trying to upload files from a Commodore 64SX (portable) to a
pc (AT&T PC6300). Since the C64 does not have a real RS232 port
I am using a modem on each end, and connecting the modems with a
phone wire. After struggling with the modem on the pc (getting it
to answer), and getting the parity, stop bits, and baud rate set
all to match, the C64 will now talk to the PC and PC recognizes
the commands given by the C64.
However, there are still some problems. The C64 (screen) receives
gibberish from the PC. Also, Procomm 2.4.2 expects some sort of
file transfer protocol which the C64 does provide. The modem &
software on the C64 is mfd'd by TeleLearning Systems, Inc., in case
it makes any difference. The C64 has no host mode that I know of.
I also have HOST-CALL (I think) for the PC, but I have not tried it.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
The modem on the PC is an old INMAC manual on-off model.
I would appreciate any help. It would be rather time consuming to key
in all the data again. Thanks much.
