I have developed a HyperCard stack that uses Communications ToolBox and Apple Modem Tool. It works just fine when connected to a local modem... But, when I use NetSerial to communicate over a network the Apple Modem Tool crashes with 'zero divide' when I call CTBOpen(). There is no problem with my CTB-code; I get exactly the same behaviour with MacTerminal 3.0 and the Modem Tool. I dont want to support a Hayes-compatible modem myself by using the Serial Tool and a bunch of Hayes-commands. Is there a way around this? A new tool from Apple perhaps? Any 3rd party tool that can replace the buggy Apple Modem Tool? Any hints appreciated.

What's the current version? I've had a modem manufacturer talk about "1.3" or "1.0.3" which would work with their modem; we have only 1.0.1. APDA doesn't list and update, and our Apple SE tells us to call APDA. >4) please be a bit more judicious in labelling software "buggy" I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Anders. The version of the AMT we currently have *is* rather buggy. The particular bug he complains of may not be in the AMT, but there are others. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

The stack works with the Serial Tool so I believe the "bug" resides in the Apple Modem Tool... Try MacTerminal 3.0 also.

You can reach me on AppleLink also: SW0039. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Anders Ulfheden | USENET: ulfis@nada.kth.se | Royal Institute of Technology | Stockholm, Sweden
