Re: [M100] REX availability

Yes they are!  For rexcpm you need s machine specific adapter.  M100 or
t102?

[M100] REX availability

[Chris Kmiec]

I have one in my 102, and just got another 100 and 102. Would like to get
both REX and REXCPM. Are they still available?

Thanks!

emails. But, nifty!

The solution is to hit Shift-Break then F8. Every time you hit
Shift-Break, TELCOM seems to process one character before it gets
stuck waiting again for CD, so you might have to hit it repeatedly.

I have heard that John Hogerhuis's HTERM is the consensus best
terminal, but I have not used it yet.

For file transfers, I use dlplus
 (also originally written by
John Hogerhuis, but I believe it is now maintained by Brian
White). Dlplus is nicer than xmodem because it acts like a drive.
It also has a nifty bootstrap mode
 that gets a binary
transfer program onto your T200. Just run this on your host side
and follow the prompts:

```bash
dlplus -b |DSKMGR.200|
```

If you are connecting to a UNIX box via TELCOM, I humbly suggest
giving my Tandy Terminfo
 a try.

P.S. There are other options than DSKMGR.200 if you find it takes
too much space. Use `dlplus -l` to see them.

Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks !

The frozen thing is common for me with TELCOM as well when I remove the
serial cable. I don't know if that's a Tandy 200 thing or if it affects the
Model 100 as well.

I presume it has something to do with Carrier Detect, or the like. The
solution is to hit Shift-Break then F8. Every time you hit Shift-Break,
TELCOM seems to process one character before it gets stuck waiting again
for CD, so you might have to hit it repeatedly.

I have heard that John Hogerhuis's HTERM is the consensus best terminal,
but I have not used it yet.

prompts:

```bash
dlplus -b DSKMGR.200
```

giving my Tandy
Terminfo  a try.

[M100] Better TELCOM program / ROM

[Cedric Amand]

Hello everyone, Very simple question ; is there a more sophisticated program 
than TELCOM for modem or direct serial communications ? Maybe part of a ROM ? 
Specifically, something that would support xmodem or make file exchanges easier 
? Also maybe easier settings than "stat" :) I also often find myself with the 
M200 "frozen" when doing serial communication (cannot F8 anymore, need to 
RESET), like if I hangup on one side, the receiving M200 is frozen. Am I doing 
something wrong ? Thanks !
