Re: Interesting PC-to-Apple Software: Lora BBS

"...If the dial-up version isn't answering, then that would suggest
your
init string (and therefore your modem) is not correctly set up. ..."

Sean,

There is no modem involved here. That's the point. This is a direct
serial cable / null modem / serial cable connection.

The person at the Apple keyboard must type SOMETHING, which I can see
the BBS is receiving, that "tells" the BBS software to kick in and
start outputting text and start accepting text input.

>From what I remember from running Pro-Beagle, such strings might be:

RING (or several RINGs in a row)
CONNECT (or CONNECT xxxx, where xxxx is a baud rate)
ATA

but they elicit no response from Synchro. I can tell Synchro is seeing
this output because there's a "serial display window" that is
displaying what I'm typing on the Apple.

As I have some articles to write, I'll probably be continuing this
between Christmas and New Years...
