OK, but I have to correct first: I may be wrong about the
link protocols, but I have other info, which may work.
I'm not sure if this is necessary, but here's a sample open:
OPEN "COM1:2400,N,8,1,BIN,CD0,DS0,OP0,RS,TB2048,RB2048" AS 1
That's just in case you need to see where to place "OP0",
which turns off time-out for a successful OPEN.
The link protocols thing is disabled by an init string, but
turns off all error correction and such until you re-
initialize. I don't know how easy that is; I have an
external modem, so I just turn it off and back on again to
re-init the error-checking. Init string is
ATS36=3W2 <ENTER>
This lets me connect with Microsoft BBS and 2400 baud modems without
problems. There has to be an equivalent of an <Enter>
somewhere if you're using a macro, such as ^M or something
but you knew that :-)
Hope there's something useful in there somewhere.
Matt
