[Coco] supercomm

[Bill Pierce]

Sorry folks, I made a typo in my response to Richard. The cmd for SuperComm's autodial should be:

ADS=ATD98.175.102.203:2300
RTR=FF
RPS=05
BPS=7
TRM=2

 CNS=\*\^\^

I had typed ADT instead of ATD. I also forgot the last cmd, which gives the BBS a couple of CRs for good measure (some BBSs require it).

Richard, first and foremost, put the drivewire4 drivers IN your bootfile. I cannot express this enough! Loading them externally is OK for one-time temporary use, but for prolonged use, installing them in your OS9Boot file is the better option and is much more stable. Loading them externally uses much more system ram, taking away from system ram needed by other software, especially programs like Supercomm that can get resource hungry. The standard NitrOS9 distribution disks include the dw4 drivers in the bootfile.Now, for Supercomm. Supercomm is easily run from the command line (when you know the cmds), but becomes much easier when a little setup is done in advance. Supercomm has an "autodial" feature that is priceless even in these times of no real phone lines and telnet BBSes.First, create a "DIAL" dir in your "/dd/sys" directory.makdir /dd/sys/DIALNow, you must use a text editor to create the following file:/dd/sys/dial/Wildcat.adfIn the file, create the following lines:ADS=ADT98.175.102.203:2300RTR=FFRPS=5BPS=7TRM=2now save and close the file.You should not need to chd or chx to anything if supercomm is in your cmds dir. Now start Supercomm using the following cmd:supercomm /n <ENTER>You will see the title screen, just hit enter.Now hit <ALT> A (for autodial)You should see "Wildcat"Select "Wildcat" and hit enterThis should now connect you to the BBSOh... and your drivewire4 server PC must already be connected to the internet :-)Hitting <ALT> /at any time in Supercomm brings up the help menu.If all else fails, read the Supercomm manual... and since the Supercomm manual seems to fall into the "not keeping manuals stored in the same place as the software" catagory, I have put it in my dropbox, so you can find it here:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23059963/Stuff/SuperComm%20Manual.txtHope this helps :-) Bill Pierce"Charlie stole the handle, and the train it won't stop going, no way to slow down!" - Ian Anderson - Jethro Tull My Music from the Tandy/Radio Shack Color Computer 2 & 3https://sites.google.com/site/dabarnstudio/Co-Contributor, Co-Editor for CocoPediahttp://www.cocopedia.com/wiki/index.php/Main_PageGlobal Moderator for TRS-80/Tandy Color Computer Forumshttp://www.tandycoco.com/forum/E-Mail: ooogalapasooo at aol.com  -----Original Message-----From: Richard Hawk <rhawk1 at centurylink.net>To: Coco <Coco at maltedmedia.com>Sent: Sat, Apr 9, 2016 10:27 amSubject: [Coco] supercommHow does one use the supercomm under nitros-9 using a real coco hooked up todrivewire 4 I boot into nitros-9 and (load drivewire_mods)Then I (cd cmds)Then I type (supercomm /wildcat.dynu.com 2300) the bbs that has beenmentioned on here the last few days The screen switches screen and comes up with supercomm version 1.07copyright C 1988 by Dave Philipsen I then tried supercomm /nAnd I come up with a the same as above then I hit enter and I come up withsupercomm v1.07 port=n  And it locks up thanks in advanced for any help on how to use supercomm Richard HawkRhawk1 at centurylink.net-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
