I recently bought a GRiD compass 1101 at an auction, and I'm trying to get it to emulate a cursor-addressable terminal. It runs MS-DOS. The documentation says that the builtin internal modem can be accessed as COM2 with a second device COM2STAT for status info. It says what ascii strings I can send to these devices to get the modem to do certain things. I have the source for a communications program which works on my Sanyo 555 and which is written in 8088 assembly language. I want to try and modify this program to work with the GRiD, but the program does direct port in and out instructions. What I would like is one or more of the following: A communications program source which does terminal emulation and uses only ms-dos functions to accomplish this, i.e., no in and out port commands. An ms-dos source program which has been adapted for the GRiD. Information which will enable me to write one of the above. An executable program to do this even using GRiD OS. -- Anthony Albert ..!ucbvax!albert albert@ucbvax.berkeley.edu
