Re: [M100] time

[Kurt McCullum]

Well maybe ? works with a modem connection but with Telnet it 
disconnects after giving the time. But the link I sent has all the 
information of the fields.


I could build something into mComm to accept a time request from the 
model-t. A simple Basic program could open up the port, request the time 
and set the time & date of the model-T with the information that is sent 
back. But realistically, how useful is that?

   For some years, I had a bit of software that I ran on a 486 machine 
which dialed up NIST via a Hayes modem, and set my Hayes Chronograph.


   Of course, hoarder that I am , I still have all three.

I have just learned that if you "telnet time.nist.gov", the NIST sends
you a string containing the accurate time and date (UTC of course). It
seems to that that his could come in handy synchronising the Model T
to accurate time.

Here's a program to set the time from NADSBox.

Re: [M100] time

[Donald Kyllo]

Here's the description from the modem:

   DESCRIPTION OF THE
  AUTOMATED COMPUTER TIME SERVICE (ACTS)

The service uses multi-speed modems which should automatically adapt to
the speed of the originating modem.  All messages are sent using standard
ASCII characters with 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.

Format of the time message:

 D  L D
  MJD  YR MO DA H  M  S  ST S UT1 msADV 
 47999 90-04-18 21:39:17 50 0 +.1 045.0 UTC(NIST) *
 47999 90-04-18 21:39:18 50 0 +.1 045.0 UTC(NIST) *
 etc...

 The message transmits Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), the
official world time referred to the zero meridian of longitude.

The MJD is the modified Julian Day number, which advances by 1 at 
UTC every day.

The DST parameter provides information about Daylight Saving Time, using
the model valid for the continental US:

  00 = US is on standard time (ST).50 = US is on DST.
  99 to 51 = Now on ST, go to DST when your local time is 2:00 am and the
 count is 51.  The count is decremented daily at 00 (UTC).
  49 to 01 = Now on DST, go to ST when your local time is 2:00 am and the
 count is 01.  The count is decremented daily at 00 (UTC).

LS = Leap second flag is set to "1" to indicate that a leap second is to be
added as 23:59:60 UTC on the last day of the current month (usually June or
December).  The flag will be set to "2" if the last second of the current
month is to be dropped. The second following 23:59:58 UTC on the last day
of the month will be 00:00:00 of the next day in that case.  The flag will
remain on for the entire month before a leap-second event; it will be 0
otherwise.

DUT1 = Approximate difference between earth rotation time (UT1) and UTC, in
steps of 0.1 second. DUT1 = UT1 - UTC

The specified time is valid when the "*" on-time marker is received.  This
character will be transmitted 45 ms early to compensate for the nominal
delay in the modems and the telephone connection.

The maximum connection time will be 40 seconds unless you transmit a
"%" character before then.  If this character is received, the transmitter
will break the connection at the next on-time marker.

I use to use my TRS 80 Model 100 back in the early 1990's to call up the
local library. I would call a phone number using the build in modem and
TELCOM.

mComm (Windows TPDD/TELCOM server) has the ability to create a Telnet

I would like to see an ethernet to serial adapter for the Model T. The TRS
80 Model 100 would be great to use again in 2015 and beyond. But as the
years go by, so does technology. Now we have tablets, netbooks and IPhones.

Now we just need an Ethernet to serial adapter for the model t :-)On Oct

Can anyone direct me to websites that support the TRS 80 Model 100 ?

Re: [M100] time

[Peter Vollan]

Darn it, I wrote it wrong. It is
telnet time.nist.gov 13
... that spits out the cryptic string used by my dialup time setting
program. And then disconnects.

In about 1991 I used to call BBSs with my model 100, and there were
some that came through just fine. Those were the text only ones that
did not use ANSI. I think there was one called a "Henge". Also I think
we all know the the Model 100 has a termcap file for Unix sytems
