Complex II...Modem Problems

[jblaby@news.cyberstore.ca (John Blaby)]

 I have been playing with the Complex II bbs program. Someone
mentioned that they couldn't get it to work with their modem.

Well, I set it up on my other GS with my old Supra 2400 modem. I
couldn't get it to work at first. No matter what init string I set up
with the vars.editor, I had no luck.

The fix:
     I used a block editor to take a look at the vars file. It seems
the editor does not erase the default string and terminate the newly
entered string correctly. The fix is simple. Just look to see where
your new string ends. The next block should be a 00 followed by an FF.
Then just enter 00 for the remaining blocks that contain remnants of
the original string. You could actually use the file peeker util that
comes with The Complex I imagine.

Finally, change the bit that puts the board into test mode via the
vars editor and away you go.

I hope this helps some of you that have wanted to try this out online
but have't been able to get your modem working.
