The commands dabone stated should fix the problem... Thanks Heather. I really appreciate it. If they don't fix the problem, at least we'll have narrowed it down. This Modem, I think, was firmware upgradible to 56k V90. I wonder if someone attemped this and fed corrupted data. Cool, skydiving... Tha...

However, when I move the RD and SD wires a certain way, those lights go out on the modem and if done just right, I can type AT commands and get correct responses from the modem, I suggest you open it up and solder the bad connection or cut back and rewire the cable at the break or replace the cable...

There are eight Zoom 2949L external modems on eBay right now, and they definitely work with a Commodore 64/128 (never tried them with a VIC-20).

You should really check the modem on a PC or other computer first. Yes. I decided to do that after my last post. Seems to be a problem with the modem. The results I get on my PC are similar to what I get using the Commodore. However, when I move the RD and SD wires a certain way, those lights go ou...

How does one use an external USR modem with a Commdore?

I have a US Robotics Sportser external 33.6 modem. I've been trying to get it to work with my Commodores, via a VIC-1011A adaptor, but have had little luck. If any one has a similar modem, could you please tell me what I need to know about it in order to make it work, if possible? I would like to kn...

Scrollback feature in Handyterm?

Hi guys. Does anyone know if Handyterm for the C64 has a scroll-back feature?
If so, could you clue me how to use it, or point me to a manual if there is one? Thanks.

Hi Robert! Well, after I got used to the LYNX interface, I found navigation tended to get dificult ounce I got out on the "open 'net". I guess that's because most web pages today aren't designed to be LYNX friendly. Are there options in LYNX to control how web pages are displayed? I'm been...

Trying out the LYNX web browser

Hi guys. I'm just getting the feel for the LYNX browser which I am accessing via my C64 and SCN.org. They offer this access for free. It works well with Novaterm 9.6 in VT102 mode. This is the first time I've had this much success with it. I'm actually logged on via 1670 modem, as I'm unable to logo...

How can I use VICE and terminal emulator together?

Hi all. Can anyone tell me how to set up VICE so I can connect to remote computers using it and a terminal emulator? I know about CGTerm, but I'd like to do it in VICE also. I'm using Windows XP. Is there a tutorial some where about this? My searching hasn't turned up much, And I've been unsuccessfu...
