[comp.sys.next] Two easy questions regarding my modem.

sisk@libra.cs.nps.navy.mil (Tamara Sisk) (10/10/90)

I don't know how much of this is NeXT-specific, and I don't have
anyone here to ask, so forgive me if this is inappropriate:

I have a NeXT at home.
I recently bought a modem.  I've never "modem"ed before.  I use
tip to dial in to the machine at school. I use "~t" and "~p" to
transfer files back and forth.  My modem is a Hayes.

1. How do I transfer non-text files from school to my NeXT?  Whevever
   I try to transfer things like an image file or a compressed file,
   or whatever, it invariably hits something it interprets as an EOF,
   and I get a mess all over my screen rather than a file in my directory.

2. How do I get my modem to hang up?  I can logout from the remote
   machine and use "~." or "~^D" to disconnect, but my modem still
   stays on the line.  I have to crawl under my desk and unplug the
   modem from the wall to get it to free up the phone.  This is a pain.

Thanks in advance to any of you who respond (via email, preferably).

Maybe if I can get this to work, I'll submit an App or two to the sites.
