About This Club

A club for those interested in Atari classic BBSing, 8-bit or ST/TT/Falcon, running or calling, how-to's as well as general discussion.
  1. What's new in this club
  2. Pab
    Wow. The things you forget after 30 years. Look at line 3231 of link20x.bas. I was starting work on networked E-mail! I'd forgotten all about that!
  3. Amis
    Simple and not a weird question at all- open the throttle - XIO 36,15,0 and remove the variable baud rate code as it’s a complexity which is unnecessary.
  4. Pab
    Weird question. I originally wrote this for the T: driver for the 830 and SX and have it doing an XIO 36 to adjust the transmission speed. With the R: driver(s), do I really need to adjust the transmission speed with each connection? Or could I just talk to the serial port/modem at 9600/19.2 and let the modem downshift the communication speed to whatever it needs? I'm finding difficulties taking incoming calls at 9600 and 14.4. The BBS keeps wanting to default down to 300 bps.

    Awesome - just found edit25 - CTL-L = Load text file CTL-S = save text file CTL-V = Toggle EOL indicator SHIFT-DEL = Delete line ESC = exit editor Edit 2.5.atr
  6. Amis
    In Panther - goto setup and remove the arrow on Ws Mode for Atascii. Save the set up which is on the same menu.

    I know this was discussed before - but it would be nice to have things in the resources section of the club for it. I have been trying the various editors suggested, but I cannot seem to get atascii characters to show up onscreen. Im doing this on hardware. tried panther, a couple of other editors.. I swear there was a stupid simple editor i used back in the 80s that just worked perfectly - i remember drawing things on my atari touch tablet, converting with some tool to atascii, and then fixing it in some "dumb editor" ... which I really wish I could find...

    im on spartaX as well - i just booted everything up in altirra - and it does now go to the wait for call screen. I have not done anything beyond that - but now I wanna try on hardware. See how it goes.
  9. Pab
    Sparta X. I can try with SD 3.2.
  10. rickcollette
    @Pab are you using sparta bootable disk, or spartax for this?
  11. Pab
    No guarantee it will solve your problem yet, but it's a step in the right direction. I think it has to have something to do with not properly responding to codes from the modem.
  12. rickcollette
    WOOOT!
  13. Pab
    New build: 11/20/23 Adds support for speeds of 9600, 14400, 19.2K Removes all references to the printer and logging to printer Increased delay before and after sending modem escape codes, required for Altirra and other faster BASICs. link201x.bas
  14. rickcollette
    I used Atari BASIC C, but also tried Altirra BASIC..
  15. Pab
    And another question: which BASIC are you running? Atari BASIC C or Altirra BASIC? I've found that Altirra BASIC runs too fast for the modem to respond to the escape code sequence before trying to send a command. Working on that.
  16. rickcollette
    before I go too much further - is there a current standard atr that you are working from you can share? Or is it the same one from the zoom meeting a couple of weeks ago? I want to make sure I am working with the same thing. There needs to be git for atari8...
  17. rickcollette
    i missed this - yep, ill get that sometime today or tomorrow.
  18. Pab
    Playing around with connecting through Altirra. What speeds are you connecting to the BBS at? I tried configuring Altirra to report a 9600 baud connection, and AtariLink didn't recognize the "Connect" message as having connected. Going down to 2400 and I was able to connect through Telnet correctly. Apparently "12" is the numeric response code equivalent of "CONNECT 9600." I never accounted for this because the fastest modems when I wrote the thing were at 2400. Looks like I've got some codes to start recognizing. Do you get to the "Waiting for a call" screen?
  19. Pab
    You're using a hard drive, not a single floppy configuration. My plans are to essentially do away with the concept of "work disk" and let the SysOp specify folders for text/info files, file catalogs, etc. I doubt anyone running a BBS in 2023 is going to rely on a single <360K floppy disk for everything. Just making sure.
  20. rickcollette
    I tried terminals first: Bobterm and 850Express do work My OS is SpartaDOS/X current IceT I could not get to work properly Handlers I have tried: All I could find. prconn.hnd when I tried with PRConn 850hnd.com from the forem xep distribution rs232.com from spartaX The altirra handler
  21. rickcollette
    i plan to run on the following: 512k 800XL SpartaDOS/X (Current) IDE 2.0+ Rev H 850 Interface WiModem32 I am happy to change that config if it helps getting this going
  22. Pab
    Going through the code, looking for things that can be jettisoned and that need to be corrected.... Is there going to be anyone running this thing (virtually or on real hardware) with a single disk drive?
  23. Amis
    Rick - BobTerm has its own handler. Suggest the Sparta 3.3a RS232.COM handler or the Altirra handler which we know works. Curious also what OS you are using as my Altirra test was completed using SpartaDos 3.3a
  24. Pab
    Can you record what your machine is doing from first running LINK20X.bas until the AT loop you describe? Just cellphone footage would help. I can try to figure out exactly where the problem is happening and try to fix or work around it.

    Sorry for the late notice.... work (monthly deployment fell on the same weekend as the chat again). So this is your reminder for tomorrow night about the Atari BBS Community Chat for 8pm eastern on Friday, November 17th. I'm really not going to plan an agenda because there are some really interesting invites going out and I think the discussion is going to be driven by which ones show up (if any). But I do have a few things as backups (including everything from last chat that we never got around to). Either way, I'm expecting it to be a good time like last time (which was one of our best I think). PM me for the link.
