*** attn: Allan Pratt re: Atari ST VT-100 Terminal Emulator Cartridge. Environment: Colour Mega ST 2, with SmartLink 2400 modem. Last weekend I bought the this VT-100 Emulator from "What's This" here in Kitchener. Yesterday when our phone was reconnected to the rest of the world, I actually started trying to setup the emulator for a session. I had trouble with parity and bit settings. In my normal communications environment I use the VT-52 emulator accessory with GEM Kermit. I set the RS232 to 7 bits, even parity, strip bit on (1 stop bit). With the accessory I have no trouble getting the modem to respond with OK. If I change parity fine. If I change to 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop nit no problem with the accessory. Now if I plug the cartridge in and power up again, I find that the only format I can talk to the modem in is 8 bits, no parity (I assume 1 stop bit since there is no parameter in SET-UP B for it). When ever I change to 7 bits, any parity, my modem refuses to echo characters and respond with OK. I tried for an hour to get the modem to talk to the VT-100 emulator using 7 bits. No frigging luck. Is this a bug with the cartridge program or I'm doing something wrong? - Ant -- achowe@watmsg.waterloo.edu | "Killed by pirates is good." __ _ | - The Princess Bride (movie) / _ _ _ |/ _ _ | _ _ |/ | \__| `<_\<_ |\|= | ` \_/<_\<_ |\ | disclaimer...
