200 REM Input key <--- I need to take the byte directly from the port,
like the keyboard scan, but the modem
doesn't work with the same locations.

1020 FOR A = 0 TO 2
1040 IF ND%(A) THEN PRINT D$;"in#";ND%(A): GOSUB 200 <-- I'm using the
in#2 to set the
input slot.
1060 IF IN$ = "" THEN 1100
1080 NB$(A) = NB$(A) + IN$
1100 GOSUB 3000
1120 NEXT A
1130 GOTO 1000: REM Continue scan
3000 REM Check to see if something is in the buffers
3020 FOR A = 0 TO 2
3040 IF NB$(A) = "" THEN 3080
3060 IF NB$(A) < > "" THEN PRINT "Buffer ";A;" contains the following:
";NB$(A):NB$(A) = ""
3080 NEXT A: RETURN
I know there must be a way to do this, since an Apple II can be used from
remote by doing a pr#2 and in#2 at the same time. I just need to know
the locations to peek and poke too. I can live with the pr#2, but you can't
use the in#2 and the get command for my purpose, it stops the whole program.
This is just one of the things I wanted to work on, does anyone have the
source code (or partial source code for DDial, I just need to see the hardware
routines...).
I'm going to attempt to write a 2 line BBS, simple, but a little more
complex that DDial (chatting and true message bases). If someone could
write me a couple machine language routines for the Apple II, it would
be greatly appreciated. Although, I don't know how far I will get. I
don't know much about the Apple II. The Commodore 64 was my machine, I knew
all the tricks for that machine. Apple seems to keep the general public
blinded. (or maybe its because I'm a late comer to the II world.).

In-Reply-To: message from aq696@cleveland.Freenet.Edu Try picking up a copy of ModemWorks by Morgan Davis, the creator of ProLine BBS systems. It allows full modem operations and includes an xmodem file protocol and many other commands, including those of AmperWorks which is a set of extra BASIC related commands. Like copying and appending files.
