Ok. I've made the change. A lot of people have been telling me to change to
osterm. I have, and It is a very good program. Way to go Vaughn! But I have
been plagued by a problem that I thought was due to Telstar, but still shows up
under osterm 2.08. When I try to dial a local BBS #, my modem will not dial. It
receives the codes because I can see the lights fl ash on the modem. But it
won't dial. I have dialed this service, and a long distance bbs just a few
minutes ago. I must admit I did have a problem dialing CIS this time. I am
borrowing another rs232 pak now, so I t doesn't look like that is the problem.
My MPI is modified. I am using a 1200 baud radio shack modem . I did notice
that the 2 bbs's that I had problems dialing used 7 bit data, and the long
distance bbs used 8 bit. Can a modem be sensitive to certain phone #'s. It
seems like the only thing it can be is the modem. ANny ideas ?
