Msg 43143 is 08 line(s) on 02/04/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: TRY 9600 HST HERE? The 9600 baud modem is back on line. I can't connect to it. Randy SAYS it says "connect 9600", but I get nothing. Then again, my 9600 doesn't connect to ANYTHING with ARQ (MNP) so I suspect a bug in MY modem - perhaps CBBS' also? Could someone please try calling in here at 9600 with an HST set to 9600? Thanks. (For those of you wondering why I said 9600 twice, it is because there is such a thing as coming in at 14.4K, but CBBS isn't set for that). Thanks! Msg 43144 is 30 line(s) on 02/05/90 from ERIC BOHLMAN to HOWARD HOYT re: R/BODOT TO ASCII CONVERSION (correct spelling is "Baudot") The actual conversion from Baudot to ASCII is pretty easy. First, you have to remember that Baudot has two "shift states." In one state, codes represent letters; in the other, they represent numbers or punctuation. Two of the Baudot codes (letter shift and figure shift) are reserved for switching between these states. A routine to convert a Baudot character to ASCII would look like this: toascii(code) int code; {static int state=0; if (code==FIGURESHIFT) {state=32; return(0); } else if (code==LETTERSHIFT) {state=0; return(0); } else return(asctab[code+state]); } where asctab[] is a 64-element table consisting of the ASCII values corresponding to the 32 Baudot codes, first in the letters state and then in the figures state. You'll have to get a Baudot table to look up the actual character codes. If the ultimate purpose of this is to allow PCs to communicate with TDDs, remember that TDD modems are NOT signal-compatible with standard computer modems. Msg 43145 is 10 line(s) on 02/05/90 from ERIC BOHLMAN to HOWARD HOYT re: TDDs use a HALF-DUPLEX FSK modulation method. Half-duplex is used here in its true meaning: only one side can be sending carrier at a time. The parties to the conversation have to "hand off." The point of all this is that merely writing a program to translate ASCII to Baudot and vice-versa will NOT enable a PC to talk to a TDD without special hardware. There are some modems that will work with the TDD modulation method; they actually take ASCII input and do the translation themselves, as well as the appropriate FSK modulation. Unfortunately, they're rather expensive and while they can also function as full-duplex ASCII modems, they're limited to 300 baud.

Prfer the "PC 2" which is the 256K motherboard, but will consider the older "PC 1" which was socketed for 64K. I do not need the RAM. This is for an IBM PC for my kids, so I don't have to take my bulletin board offline every time they want to use the PC. Best way to get me is to leave a message on my BBS, Discovery Place at 708-383-6335 as I don't get on here very often. I also have a few items laying around that you may want/need as part of a trade - 4 floppy ctrller (IBM), Epson MX100 for parts(?), internal Hayes 1200B, PC DOS 3.3 shrink wrapped. - Thanks, Mike Msg 43147 is 02 line(s) on 02/05/90 from DRAMEL THOMPSON to ALL re: PACKET BELL PB 500 does anybody know where i can get a good deal on 3 1/2 inch drives for my ibm clone?

Msg 43149 is 08 line(s) on 02/05/90 from JIM POLOUS to DRAMEL THOMPSON re: DRIVES If you can wait until February 25, you can go to the College of DuPage. The Computer Central Show is held there about 10 times per year. I got a high density 3.5" drive for $80.00 for my machine. The low density drives were anywhere from $60+. Both new and used hardward and software are sold there. The admission is $5, it starts at 9:30, come early or you'll miss the bargains. The show is held in the sport arena, you can enter on the south east corner of the campus. If you need any other information, let me know. dup. chars. >Function:?
