N Public Message Message # 3809 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : Colin McKay From : Ken Scales Subject : Getting there... Date : 94/04/10 13:04:00 Colin, since today's meeting of the MECCO OS-9 group has been cancelled, I thought I would leave you a message here. Also, to post progress for OSTerm 68K customers out there waiting for their updates... Last night I got the necessary enhancements in for the VT100 emulation so that it now properly handles Emacs (with multiple buffers on screen) from a HP-Unix host, as well as Vi. (Brian Marcotte's "vt100" program will also handle Emacs, but can't quite deal with Vi.) This should bring the level of emulation supported from "basic" to fairly general, though it still won't support different character sets/sizes, 132 column mode, and some of the other less-used functions. But it now should cover all the main requirements most users will require. (It's better than the version of "screen" I have running on the Unix box... Guess I need to get a new version of that installed.) So, this just leaves one major item on our checklist for OSTerm V2.1.

Date : 94/04/10 14:16:00 Good stuff, Ken! So that brings emulation modes to: TTY ANSI (Colours, characters and screen positioning codes) VT100 Compuserve Binary (All characters captured to a buffer, screen-safe ones go to the screen) and CC3/K-Windows. And since external protocols, such as Z-Modem, and Kermit are also already supported, that only leaves one more item, CIS-B protocol. TTYL.

Umm... well, what we used to describe as "CompuServe" mode is now moved to "Terminal Options", and appears as "7-bit mask". This allows the masking to be used with the various emulation modes, if desired. Guess that means the manual will need to be updated again CM> And since external protocols, such as Z-Modem, and Kermit are also CM> already supported, that only leaves one more item, CIS-B protocol. Don't forget the Prompted ASCII transfer mode... At this stage, I am tempted to suggest that we freeze it withOUT CIS-B protocol (which was always considered only a "WBN" (Would Be Nice) for this release), and distribute it. We've made so many little changes and enhancements that I'm beginning to have trouble remembering them. --- Maximus-CBCS v1.02 * Origin: Micro80 Computer Club of Ottawa BBS (1:163/306) Public Message (Rec) Message # 3823 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : Warren Hrach From : Colin Mckay Subject : Re: UUCP Date : 94/04/11 23:12:00 Next Reply is Message 3837 Good luck with getting UUCP up and running. I've got mine up and running pretty cleanly now. It compiled first time on my MM/1. Only found one problem, and almost have that tracked down in the source. Mailx does not seem to like one-line messages. Other than that, I haven't had any real problems with the package. It is the best documented one I've seen so far for OS-9/OSK. TTYL.

I just recompiled it with the bug fixes in UUBB20.BUG that was sent out on the OCN net. Took 35 min.

I think pollremote was referring to your system. On my setup, the uucp files go in: /dd/usr/postmaster cmckay spool/files incoming news uucp/uuisis uucppublic uuisis is the system I call to get my mail from. cmckay and postmaster are accounts on my system, and also appear in the /dd/sys/password file. Hope this helps. TTYL.

I made up a dir for the system I call like yours uuisis, mine is jadpc. Now I can log on as postmaster and que up a file for jadpc and send it ok. But I am still missing a few dirs and/or files. My local guru will help me get the rest setup I am sure. But I am having a very strange thing happen when I do a 'tsmon /t0&'. I do that and all goes well, I have the correct modem strings, in fact same as used for RiBBSs. But after the first call to the modem and login it refuses to answer another call until the next day ! I must be missing a profile or something in the .login , .logout files. I have those and they work ok but still wont accept a second or any more calls. I even reboot, reset the modem and still wont accept a call. If I deiniz the port and reset the modem by itself it will accept and answer (send tone) but if tsmon is on it wont send tone. Any help apprecieated. I know it is not the modem as I duplicated the whole thing with my ZyXEL modem. BTW isn't there supposed to be a login log somewhere ?

Last fall I thought I was imangining this, so this time I remembered to double check it first.
