I'm running waffle 1.65 & have a maxann 9600bps modem.  I located a
free news feed this week(!) & can't get my machine to answer the phone
correctly at 2400 bps.  It's been working fine at 9600 although waffle
thinks everyone is calling at 300bps.  I haven't really cared about it
until now.

My init string was: AT H0 M0 S0=0 V1 E2 X0 &J0
I changed it to:  : AT H0 M0 S0=0 V1 E2 X1 &J0

Trying to get waffle to report the line speed.  I'm using "answer:
ata", have a fossil & have locked the port speed to 9600 (or so I
think). What happens no is that when I call I get a carrier, but
before the CONNECT, the line is dropped.  I'm not by the machine now &
can't call it back since it won't answer the phone. :-(

Any advice is appreciated.  The modem I use to call to check whether
the config works is 30 minutes away. . .

I've also had difficulty getting waffle to compile correctly with
Borland C 2.0.  It compiles fine, but the IO stuff is screwy.  It
appears that there's a problem with strings not being \0 terminated
correctly.  Any ideas?  I'd like to get it to compile so that I can
disable ALT-T on the 18 local nodes I'm running for middle schoolers.
So far, no one has realized that they can do that.  It won't solve all
my security problems, but it'd be a start.  THen I can see about
minimally encrypting the passwords. ..
