XON/XOFF from Bobterm

[darwinmac]

@tschak909 - Is there any reason why XON/XOFF (Ctrl-S/Ctrl-Q) doesn't respond when using Bobterm 1.23 on the Fujinet? I've wanted to do this to stop text on a BBS (Southern Amis) that's more than a screenful. The Ctrl-S/Ctrl-Q combination works on Syncterm (MacBook Air) on the same BBS. I'm assuming I need to find some other key combination to use XON/XOFF on Bobterm, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't something in the Fujinet itself.

 

FYI, I tried to copy the Bobterm 1.23.atr file from atari-apps.irata.online and I received an error. I assume the space in the filename was a problem since I could copy other files from that server to my SD card. I was trying to copy it locally so I could attempt to change the macro to insert my username/password.

 

Unfortunately, like most Fujinet owners, I'm not a developer. However, once I figure out launchd on macOS, I plan on writing a short document on how to have tnfsd start on boot. You have something for Windows on your wiki, but not the Mac.

I can't speak for Bobterm, as I do not have the source code for it. I do not know why this would be happening, as we are not blocking flow control characters.

 

I appreciate that you'll be adding additional information on how to configure tnfsd for MacOS users.

Thom,

 

Thanks for your confirmation on flow control. I assumed Fujinet wasn’t involved, but I wanted to make sure. 
 

I’ll try to ask something in the BBS forum to see if any other Bobterm users can send flow control characters.
