XON/XOFF was much more useful in 'the old days' although as you say it's still useful in certain circumstances. But yes, with so little space above the high water mark the M100 needs either a bridge with a large buffer* or *a small packet size if possible, preferably one character just like

WiFi adds an extra element to the problem because unlike one-character-at-a-time RS232 the data is in uninterruptible packets; when the M100 sends an XOFF to stop sending, the other end doesn't respond until it's finished sending the current packet and since the M100 doesn't send the XOFF until

Yes, but I will try it again at 600 baud of that is the max TELCOM can do with the screen. On Mon, Apr 26, 2021, 2:46 PM Alex ... wrote: > Is it enabled on both sides? On the modem itself and make sure the last > letter of the STAT string in TELCOM is "E" and not "D" > > On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at

I am using Arcanbyte which ties in to my Wi-Fi so no copper. I did change both sides to XON/XOFF but I haven't tried 600 baud yet. On Mon, Apr 26, 2021, 6:46 PM Mike Stein wrote: > Are you using a 'real' copper POTS telephone line? > > On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 3:06 PM Alex ... wrote: > >> Is

What John said was your definitive answer. You simply can't actually go any faster than 600 *reliably*, in TELCOM with the screen active. It doesn't matter that telcom/basic allow setting higher speeds. Even with xon/xoff, when the 100 says "stop sending!", by the time the xoff byte

The model 100 can communicate at 76800bps without losing characters... with hardware flow control and custom software. But with TELCOM and the model 100's slow screen 600baud is probably the limit. Are you using software flow control? One other thing I found when writing HTERM is that ANSI

Hi, I just got myself an ArcaneByte modem. I connected to the fozztexx BBS and posted a message! Not quite as exciting as my first post when I was 9 years old but it was cool getting it set up. The problem is that I can't get the m100 to run at 1200 baud. It skips text and displays garbage
