[This line is the result of peer pressure. Is there really a line-eater?]
I am an Amiga 1000 owner who has recently acquired several non-working
modems, one of which I have managed to fix. It is an intelligent modem, but
it is not Hayes-compatible. Instead of using "AT" as a prefix to commands, it
goes into a local command mode when it receives certain non-ascii control
characters. Because of this, I am unable to use Kermit, Xmodem, or uw
between the VAX at work and my computer at home. All downloading and
uploading must be done using straight ASCII-capture, which means firing up
the editor and removing all of those stupid delete characters by hand!
Does anybody out there use a Microcom PCS1200 (or RX1200) modem? If so,
what are some of the commands to operate it? I have figured out the "a"
(answer), "d" (dial out), and "e" (exit command mode?) commands, but I need to
know how to disable its grabbing those control characters so that I can get
some useful work done! (I can't use my favorite editor, either - GRRR).
I would *also* like to know how to set the modem's clock. I have tried
every possible permutation of CLOCK, TIME, SET, and DATE that I can think of
and it is still stuck at almost 11 hours off. If you have any experience with
this modem please send me some hints as to how to make it work. (Actually,
the entire command set would be appreciated!)

ALSO, now that I have figured out how to download files correctly (and
have a version of uudecode on my computer), I would like to know how to get
copies of several programs that I have seen in the past on the net, but was
not able to get at the time. The programs include CLAZ (even fixhunk wouldn't
fix my version), quickflix (was there ever a working version of it posted?),
some of the DRACO stuff that was on the net a while ago (I don't have *any*
compilers right now), dropshadow, bawk, arc (I have unarc), a version of
dropcloth with the icon ghosting bug fixed, and some of the demos that I have
heard about and only guessed the function of: ROBOTROFF, MELT, SMUSH, etc. I
have been informed that we cannot do "anonymous ftp"'s from here, so anybody's
help on finding at least some of these programs would be greatly appreciated.
TIA (thanks in advance), Steven Meloche - * a silent net reader since 1982 *
