Fletch Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've recently acquired a Lantronix UDS-10 to get my ST on-line again. I am using my old copy of Flash 2 as my VT100 software. Everything seems to work great but the arrow keys. When I use the arrow keys it sends the letters A B C or D instead of moving the cursor. When I use LYNX it requires the use of arrow keys. Anyone have a suggestion. Fletch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm not familiar with that software, Flash 2, but have you tried using the Atari terminal cart for the ST? I got mine from Best Electronics for I think $15 shipped, they had more than one when I ordered. Sorry I can't help with your software. This term cart works great, and has given me zero trouble regardless of what I connect to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Update: The arrow keys seem to work fine on my 1040STf, but not on my 1040STe. I have no idea why, but the arrow keys work in other programs so I am assuming its a TOS version thing. Darklord, The UDS-10 is telnetting into my OS X box. OS X is handling Pine for email, Lynx and Links for web browsing, snownews as an RSS reader, and Frotz for Infocom games. So technically I am cheating.

Fletch Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've solved the arrow keys issue on the Ste. Apparently Flash 2 has a TSR called Silentline that keeps track of how long you've been connected. Apparently the STe doesn't like it. When I removed Silentline everything works great.

Fletch Wow, thats not cheating man, thats improvisation - way to go! I know others were looking for ways to use the UDS10 besides just telnet - maybe now they can get a few ideas from your example. 2 thumbs up!

Fletch Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Darklord, It doesn't seem all that exciting to me, but I'll give some info of what I've done if it might help others. First of all, I am using Mac OS X so I am assuming Linux of some other UNIX variant would be about the same but I am not sure. As for Windows I really don't think any of this will apply. OS X needs either FINK or MACPORTS to install most command line UNIX apps. http://www.finkproject.org/ or http://www.macports.org/. Install one or both of these first. I then installed LYNX and LINKS for web browsing. This is old school text browsing. No graphics of any kind, but it works well enough. Next I installed PINE. PINE is an email client. Nothing fancy, but it works. SNOWNEWS was next. It is an RSS Reader. I find this to be useful for reading the news than browsing with LYNX or LINKS. It does one thing and it does it well. I installed FROTZ for old school Infocom gaming fun. I have a CD full of Infocom games I had bought in the 90's and all of the games work just great with FROTZ. The next, and maybe most useful thing I installed was Lrzsz. Lrzsz lets you instigate ZMODEM transfers from the OS X machine to the ST. Just navigate to the folder containing the file you want and type sz FILE.PRG. (obviously replacing FILE.PRG with whatever you want to transfer). I then edited my OS X install to accept Telnet connections. By default this is turned off. Then I set up the UDS-10. I have it set at 19200 Baud 8,N,1 and turned on XON/XOFF error correction. I didn't have error correction on at first and all of my Zmodem transfers failed. After I enabled XON/XOFF it has worked flawlessly. I use Flash 2 on the ST. Make sure your rs232 settings are set exactly like the UDS-10. Be sure you chose vt-100 as your terminal. Once in Flash 2 jump into terminal mode and type atdtx.x.x.x,23 (replace x.x.x.x with the IP of your OS X machine) and you should be welcomed with the login prompt. I hope this helps someone.

sniperstorm Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I really thing the uds 10 can do something else besides telnet. I am confused about getting the st set up for tcip. If anyone has any directions I would love to give it a try, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
