Does anyone out there know the correct parameters required to operate the EBBS (version 3.1) bulletin board system with a Hayes compatible modem? The modem I have is an Expert 12e (fully Hayes compatible). I have tried numerous configurations, and the modem seems to answer the incoming calls fine, but it doesn't seem to detect the carrier.

Note that there's no such thing as a fully Hayes compatible modem! Also note that in large part, your choice of RS232 interface is much more important than your choice of modem. It sounds to me as if your interface is inverting the carrier detect. Your modem may have a switch for inverting the carrier detect signal. If so, use that. Otherwise, you will have to contact the author of EBBS and tell him that he needs to make his BBS program more programmable. It is inexcusable for any BBS program in this day and age to leave the shop without provisions for dealing with inverted carriers. -- Eric Lee Green elg@usl.CSNET Snail Mail P.O.

On the disk you have it should have a number for his BBS out here, if it does
oo@o
have the number let me know and I can give it to you, this way you can call
and chat with him direct.
I have ran that version myself with no problems, could your modem be at fault?
