These days XON/XOFF over a transparent data link is virtually ineffective as one or both ends will be using a modem with an internal buffer that means that the XOFF will not take effect until it reaches the other machine and it's Tx buffer is emptied many hundreds of bytes later... and if you mean local XON/XOFF between the SAM and the local error corecting modem... it's obslotete as the UART does it much better and works while interupts are disabled during floppy access or the ISR being paged out of context... > [Screen handling] > The main problem I've got at the moment is a 30% reduction in efficiency > when I put the shadow-screen which I use for the scroll-back buffer. > Bother. Hmm, I've never used such a facility myself. I've always been content with spooling a session and simply viewing the log whilst online and log-file still open if there's no quick way back to what I want to view... >>> The scripts will be compiled anyway, so it should make things quite nice >>> and fast... >> Vroooooom.......... > *smiles* I'm even thinking of putting a peephole optimiser in there :) What compiling to M-Code! Isn't that a *bit* overkill? I thought you meant tokenising the script commands and reducing them to a list of tokenised commands with pointers to the strings etc... >>> [Sam Fax] >> No response as yet...

Just as sods law would have it, I cannot find the source code online where I thought it was:-( One last place to look before the weekend cheap-rate is up. I found it, alas the built-in Fax Rx transport code was added after that release:-( 400k+ @2400buad LD wasted <Grrr> Oh well at least I've now got ZedZap and Janus protocols in C source form:-) I think the only variant from a straight T.4 data dump out to a file during the Phase-C stage is some fiddling using the DLE, <char> sequence... The text file I have that mentions this is not too clear on why and EXACTLY how it's to be done... How's that SLIP comming on? Regards Johnathan. ... HHeellpp..
