  • an old issue.

    I don't understand why you're using Preinit. You should only have INIT AT&C1&D2M0S0=0H0 as your init string. Whatever that "v~~~^~~~" is, it will be parsed. It looks familiar... something copy-n-pasted from Renegade?

    Not copy pasted, its from generic locked 9600 modem profile from dbridge.
    Have tried a few different profiles including ones without preinit
    wasn't sure what that "v~~~^~~~" thing was but it works and last time I changed the config got that modem could not be init message in the log window. Ill try changing the config again, get rid of that pre init and just put that init string you quoted in.

    Pretty sure the issue will still remain that I need to have something in rlfossil for an init string or when dbrige is summoned it will get that CD light and end up hanging after returning from launching the board.


    The MCF keyword is the basename of the MCF file. If the file you're using i Othermdm.mcf then it should be MCF OTHERMDM

    Copy that.
    Working great by the way, going to link it up to my domain today.

    Sounds like Iniquity doesn't hangup the modem correctly after a caller exits?

    What about a simple redirect from DOS, ie. ECHO AT&C1 >COM1

    If I understand correctly that Rlfossil emulates a modem, it should logically emulate the Eeprom, so you write a "good" config to the modem I believe with AT&W. When the modem initializes with ATZ it should recall that stored
    profile.

    What happens if you disable the BBS entirely in D'Bridge via Config-Advanced-BBS and then try connecting? You should receive the message "Please hangup, accepting Email sessions only". When you do hangup, what is the status of the CD light?

    That doesn't work, I tried loading my favorite comm program (ComIt) and no rlfossil showing up in there. Kinda sucks but I think its only talking to programs that use the BNU fossil (or X00).

    If I understand correctly that Rlfossil emulates a modem, it should logical emulate the Eeprom, so you write a "good" config to the modem I believe wit AT&W. When the modem initializes with ATZ it should recall that stored profile.

    It wants the init string to be ATS1=23S4=2Z works perfect. Other (real) modem strings return NO CARRIER.

    A different sort of loop.
    I orderd a Wifi Comport modem thingie from TheOldNet that will eliminate the need for the network driver and the packet driver. Ill give that a shot. Found out if I have the packet driver alone the nic or router or software fizzles out after 15 minutes from launch and is no longer listening on 23.
    Sucks because that network driver eats so much memory there is not enough room for Dbridge and IQ thus that Runtime error.
