Right, it's running at 38400 baud at the moment, using a 14400 baud modem, and it doesn't lose characters in both Hardware -and- software flow control modes. In No Flow Control mode (testing only?), at 2400 baud it keeps up fine, until the screen scrolls, where it loses 1 out of every 30 characters sent... Full ANSI support is already in, as is support for up to 4 comms interfaces, (the ANSI is in 4 colours, but looks good due to some clever logic I've put in... the colour scheme is user definable just in case anyway). No Xfer protocols installed yet, but I'm getting there :) Should have X and Y modem (all versions, Ymodem G, Ymodem, Xmodem 1K, xmodem CRC, Xmodem Batch etc etc etc) by the end of the week, Zmodem may take longer, Hydra in about a month... And nope, I've not done any compressions formats yet -- my mail seems to have eaten the document as well -- can you send it to me again? > > It's going to have a compiled scripting language built in which will be > > powerful enough to write your own BBS doors, even file transfer > protocols > > in!!! > > Wow!! *grins* > > ps the scripting may only be for version 2, as will fax and possibly > > slip/PPP support :) :) :) > > fax and slip/PPP, ... you are jokeing aren't you??? > Anyway slip/PPP without Mosaic for SAM would be useless so you would > have to write that, too! ;-) Nope, I'm not joking -- Fax may take a while (I really need a hard fax to test it with, either that or two fax modems... still, I've got *SOME* documents on it). SLIP and PPP -- yep, there will be Mosaic. Or should I say Netscape. I think we can ditch the possibility of decoding JPEG for a good while though... Simon ps Progress report: Screen modes are as follows: 6x6 char mode (very readable actually) -- 30 lines deep, 1 status bar, 1 menu bar 6x7 char mode -- 25 lines deep, 1 status bar, 1 menu bar 6x8 char mode -- 24 lines deep, toggleable status bar......... <<<<This has been sent to you using TERMITE online via a UNIX dialup connection>>>>
