Netfolk,
I am currently hip deep in a data communications project
here at school. I have been (forgive me please) writing my
project on a clone and now need to port it to my amiga. Problem
is I can't get the infernal serial device to do anything.
I set it up as per RKM and send some stuff to my modem that
ought to make it take the phone off hook and dial. No dice.
The lights flash a bit but nothing else. The serial line seems
to work for everything else (VT100, VLT, etc.) but not for me
so I assume everything is as functional as it normally is.
Questions:
Basically, does anyone have some SIMPLE examples of driving
the serial port? All I need is to be able to put and get
a single character at a time and test for availability. I
have tried to hack apart some Comm packages to get a clue but
they were of little help.
Does anyone know where I can FTP some helpful source code?
This serial port stuff is getting to be a real drag and I'm
beginning to sweat profusely over finishing this project on
the amiga. Some one save me from the PC arrrggggh ;)
Thanks in advance
Dave Lawson
