Hi, I've got a Telebit Trailblazer Plus PC internal. I'm having some trouble getting the registers set when I run... # dialTBIT -z /dev/tty1A 19200 I then check the registers and it appears that NOTHING has been changed. I think it might be that the &W command isn't being recieved <<successfully>> though it IS in the command string being issued by dialTBIT. I can't remember now if I was able to get the register setting to be saved when I issued &W myself or not. Any tips? Thanks Jeff. -- Jeff Holmes DOMAIN: jeff@questar.mn.org Questar Data Systems UUCP: amdahl!bungia!questar!jeff St. Paul, MN 55121 AT&T: +1 612 688 0089

The Telebit PC Internal Modem doesn't have Non-Volatile Ram to store configuration data. The &W is simply ignored. This fact it stated in the manual AND in the quick reference guide. RTFM. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kory Hamzeh UUCP: ..!uunet!psivax!quad1!avatar!kory INTERNET: avatar!kory@quad.com

This fact it stated in >the manual AND in the quick reference guide. RTFM. Not quite. The &W is *not* simply ignored. It, and any other command which the Telebit PC doesn't support (like M0 for another example) produce ERROR instead of being ignored. TFM doesn't say that. Telebit engineers have said there's no memory on the board because it wouldn't fit. I think they ruined an otherwise terrific product by excluding it. Yes, you can still make it do all the things that a modem with memory can do more easily, but it's definitely hack and modify time. And the missing options should not produce an ERROR message. --Bill
