Yep :) I think 28,800 baud modems may be overkill for the SAM though, although it will keep up, you might not get much overall increase in efficiency...

(I mean up to four > IFs connected but always only one active) Yep, 4 connected, only one active. The BBS software I'm planning though *may* support more than one modem at a time... either that, or it'll have SAMs communicating via MIDI, all running the same software... whichever is best... > > 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... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > Wow are you working 24 hours a day on it or what?! ;-) Nope -- I just can program fast once my research is done :) > > 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? > > I will try to find it again, I still have it somewhere but my floppy > archive > is VERY much in disorder (and there are more than 1000 floppies + several > 270MB Syquest disks where it could be.......) > I hope I will be able to post it again in a day or so... > *grins* Cheers! > > 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). > > I -think- I also had somewhere doc files about the fax protocols but > I'm not absolutely shure, I will try to find that too if you need it. Cheers.. I think I downloaded some Supra Modem and CCITT docs from US Robotics on the subject, but I really need someone with a fax next door so that I can test the software on both receiving and sending... > > SLIP and PPP -- yep, there will be Mosaic.

I was thinking of LYNX at first, and then graphical software very soon after. :) (I've got some of the GIF decoding and dithering to 4 colours written, but I need a hard-drive for the grapical version methinks..) > > <<<<This has been sent to you using TERMITE online via a UNIX dialup > > connection>>>> > > When will I be able to answer the same way??!! :-) April, I think.
