- Version 1.01, Sept. 6, 1985
-
- The World's Smallest IBM PC Comm Program
- (CROSSTALK, eat your heart out!)
-
-
- Note the size of the .COM file. (469 bytes unless rounded up by XMODEM or a
- library utility. ARC will not round up.)
-
- To run: Type JT <ENTER>
-
- To quit (to DOS): Press <ESC>
-
- Operation:
-
- Use your modem commands to operate. For example, using Hayes-compatible
- commands --
-
- ATE1 enables modem echo to display what you type before a "connect".
-
- ATDT 1-207-766-2467 dials a good BBS. (ATDP if pulse dial system)
-
- ATH to hang up.
-
- If you see <R>, <S>, or <B> printed to the screen, they are
- indications of the receive, send, and buffer overflow errors.
-
- An internal 32-byte comm buffer seems to do a good job at 1200 bps.
-
- Comm parameters are hard coded as COM1:1200,N,8,1. DEBUG may be used to
- change bps from 1200 to 300 or 2400 by changing the byte at offset 174H from
- the value 83H (1200 bps) to 43H (300 bps) or A3H (2400 bps). Example:
-
- D>debug jt.com
- -e174
- xxxx:0174 83.A3
- -w
- Writing 01D5 bytes
- -q
-
- If you choose to play with JT, I advise originating the call with it.
- Don't start JT after a "connect" using another comm program, or you'll lose the
- connection. JT also drops carrier when terminating (pressing <ESC>).

-
- v1.01 - Eliminated test for DSR since older style Hayes 1200's do not return a
- DSR until carrier detect. Now tests only for CTS. Shaved 13 bytes
- off program size.
