About two + months ago, my Supra modem 2400 went on the blitz. I called the company + and got an RA number, then sent it in. A week later I got it back in + working condition. Now that's what I call good service. + Now for the question. I recently put up a board using TAG-bbs 1.03 + using my Supra modem. I thought I would be able to use it at 2400 baud, + but when people call at 2400, they get garbage and have to switch to + 1200 bps. Am I using the wrong OPEN: command or do I have to do + something else to get it to work? + + IGA + IGA Shawn Clabough + IGA 24847843@WSUVM1.BITNET + AMI IGA Washington State University + AMI IGA + AMIGA TAG opens the port at 300 baud. If the Supra modem is initialized to 300 baud it can only got to 1200, however if it is initialized to 2400 baud it can figure out 1200 and 300. The solution is to change the statement that opens the serial port to do so at 2400. In running a TAG board for several months I have found several coding errors that I have had to correct. If anyone is trying to use TAG and doesn't have a compiler (or does and would like to exchange modifications) please send me e-mail. The source code I got (from PLINK) has a statement explicitly placing it in the public domain. On that basis I am proceding (very slowly) to hack on it. Rick Pasotto mcnc!unccvax!fwp
