Netfolk, I am currently hip deep in a data communications project here at school. I have been (forgive me please) writing my project on a clone and now need to port it to my amiga. Problem is I can't get the infernal serial device to do anything. I set it up as per RKM and send some stuff to my modem that ought to make it take the phone off hook and dial. No dice. The lights flash a bit but nothing else. The serial line seems to work for everything else (VT100, VLT, etc.) but not for me so I assume everything is as functional as it normally is. Questions: Basically, does anyone have some SIMPLE examples of driving the serial port? All I need is to be able to put and get a single character at a time and test for availability. I have tried to hack apart some Comm packages to get a clue but they were of little help. Does anyone know where I can FTP some helpful source code? This serial port stuff is getting to be a real drag and I'm beginning to sweat profusely over finishing this project on the amiga. Some one save me from the PC arrrggggh ;) Thanks in advance Dave Lawson dbl@h.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu Amiga owner since 1986, and proud of it!
