Line eater - I gotcha! Does anyone know how to get the "improved modem" family of programs such as "IMP.COM" to use pulse dialing, without reassembling the program. I have a version on ROM that I use with an Epson PX-8, and another I use with the Commodore 128. Both tone dial only. Thanks - Andy

I have a ; version on ROM that I use with an Epson PX-8, and another I use with the ; Commodore 128. Both tone dial only. The below applies only to the Epson PX-8; I know nothing about the C-128. EPXMD3.COM is an adaptation of MDM740 for the PX-8. It was adapted from the MDM740 source (Remember when source was almost always included with PD software?) for the PX-8 (Geneva). Z80 code was used in the adaptation -- none was used in the original MDM740 source; so the entire program was issued in source for the PX-8 as a .MAC file. Patch EPXMD3.COM location 0103h to 50h (ASCII P) to obtain pulse dialing; it should be 54h (ASCII T) for tone. There is a little known overlay for the PX-8 for the MDM7xx series existing. If you have a MDM7xx program you are using, patch the .COM file at location 0105h as above. (Note that MODEM7xx and MDM7xx are quite different animals.) There exists no PX-8 overlay for IMP2xx. (I would very much like someone to make a liar of me in this statement.) There does exist a PX-8 overlay for MEX114. The current version number of it is 1.2. --Mark V. Miller --MVM@cup.portal.com
