Our school newspaper is trying to send their stuff electronically to the printer. The printer has set up a 2400 Courrier (so they tell me) at the receiving end. The guy says that he sees something coming in (lights blink) but I don't get an answer from the computer. There is a good chance that something is set up wrong on their computer, but it might be the modem. I asked them to connect a terminal directly to the modem to see what's coming in, but it's apparently some special graphics display terminal that has to have all sort of everthing connected just right, so the failure of that test doesn't seem very conclusive to me. Neither of us is a modem expert. Anything major we might be overlooking (before I start accusing them of not setting up the line correctly)? Any tests we could try to figure out if the modem setting is wrong?

Have you used the modem/computer as a terminal to check if its hardware is ok?? -- Peter Godwin | ...ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!god3 Univ. of Chicago Comp Ctr | x9.xpg@uchicago 5824 S.
