Subj: REPLY TO MSG #3977 (HELP (AGAIN))
This is a good discussion for the conference... so I will reply in the conference. Although it may sound simple to those who have never tried file transfers using a stock Model T, it does require knowing certain facts, like telcom settings, and certain procedures and concepts. However, rather than going into all the various ways to do file transfers, let's just focus on your application. The situation is, you have a telcom program running on your Mac, a null-modem cable connecting your Mac to your Model 200 via the two computer's serial ports (both using IEEE RS232C serial ports--a standard in micro serial ports), and a file (.DO file) in your Model 200 you wish to send to the Mac via the cable and telcom programs. The basic telcom string used by the Model 200 has 7 variables. Six of these variables remain the same. The 7th, actually the 1st, is changed to suit the output device and speed (baud). The string configured for internal modem communication is: M8N1ENN. By changing the M to a number from 1 to 9, you change the output device to the serial port and dictate a baud rate. The rates are: 1 = 75 2 = 110 3 = 300 4 = 600 5 = 1200 6 = 2400 7 = 4800 8 = 9600 9 = 19200 Let's say you wish to transfer the .DO file at 1200 baud, and that your Mac's telcom program is set to 1200 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. You would open a capture file on the Mac, tape your <f3> function key while in the .DO file on your Model 200, key in COM:58N1ENN <enter>, let the file pass, then close the capture file on the Mac. That's it.
