Bikerbob Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Sorry guys.. I am at work and I cannot log in to make changes.. but the board is not answering again with the High Speed message. I am playing with the Forem.opt file. Everything to do with the modem the program does not like the UDS-10 and the going through the telnet.. the issue is the UDS is not reporting anything to the program .. there for as far as it can tell you are trying to connect at 300 baud. My Port is 19200 - the program max is 19200.. I set the mimimum to 9600 today.. but the UDS-10 does not negotiate a speed.. and it also does not report a speed to the ST.. saying connected at ??? if I have the UDS-10 set to 19200.. I dont understand why the ST does not see a 19200 baud device there.. Nothing on the TELNET side should have anything to do with this. Very frustrating and ironic how 8-bit bbs seem to work around this np.. and the newer fast strong 16bit.. SHATS the bed.

+DarkLord Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Don't think it's the hardware (ST). I think it's the software you're using. I mean, just considering how many ST BBS's there were "back in the day" and all of them ran okay without the problems you're seeing. I'm still betting it's some small thing and you'll figure it out, sooner or later. 1 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321079-bikerbobs-clubhouse-forem-st/#findComment-4832483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have better luck with it. I scanned the Wimodem232 manual and I read that it will report the connect speed with the command ATX1 (e.g., "CONNECT 9600" for 9600 baud connection). The default is ATX0 which only prints a "CONNECT" message. You can save the configuration on the Wimodem232 with the AT&W command in case ST FoReM does not support modem init strings. -JP Edited May 28, 2021 by JohnPolka Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321079-bikerbobs-clubhouse-forem-st/#findComment-4832523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it works MUCH faster than 300.. so is it really a problem?? guess Im ocd.

James Does the UDS-10 really report a 300 baud connection or is ST FoReM interpretting a simple "CONNECT" message as a 300 baud connection? Some dial-up modems will report "CONNECT" for 300 baud and "CONNECT xxxx" (e.g., CONNECT 1200, CONNECT 2400, CONNECT 9600, etc.) for baud rates > 300. -JP Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321079-bikerbobs-clubhouse-forem-st/#findComment-4832577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATS0=1 and that allows a connection between the telnet portion and the serial portion. Maybe I need to set ATE=1 to get full verbose. maybe that would help. I wish we were all able to gather and look at the screen.. we would solve these things in 20mins.

moonlight_mile Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Bob is your bbs up? Last couple times I tried to connect it has no answer. I have the port changed to 1040 I think I saw that somewhere.
