- PHOENIX REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM DECEMBER 4, 1987
-
- 14.0 IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
-
-
- Although we have tried to take every precaution to make
- Phoenix as easy to operate as possible, because it is
- a complicated program with many options, some things
- may not work right or at all the first time. Be sure to
- read the section of the documentation that applies to
- what you are having problems with, and double and triple
- check the area you are having trouble with. We will list
- three of the more common problems and the most common
- answers. If you do not have one of these problems and
- cannot find a solution, please contact your area host
- or anyone in the 800 net to reach the GeneSys Project
- directly. When you call, be sure to leave the following
- information.
- 1: make and model of computer along with
- speed if turbo.
- 2: amount of ram
- 3: make and model of modem
- 4: make and model of hard disk (if disk related problem)
- 5: your name and voice phone
- and best times to call along with your timezone
-
- Also, try to include a sample of the file you
- may be having trouble with, along with any
- critical.log that may be generated.
-
- 1q: "The batch file keeps cycling and the board never comes
- up. It says something about error F0".
-
- 1a: Check your environment string to be sure its exactly
- right and be sure the batch file used to invoke Phoenix
- has a drive specifier on one line and the next has
- a cd \subdir. Be sure to leave a space between cd and \.
- This error is caused because Phoenix.com cannot find any
- of the other overlay program files.
-
- 2q: "The special text menu I created doesn't show!"
- 2a: There are only two reasons that can happen.
- 1. MENU.SEC is not present or does not have the
- proper security level in it.
- 2. The text menu file is not named properly or there is
- no .MNU file for that security level.
-
- 3q: "My modem won't answer the phone"
- 3a: Re-read the modem section. You may have the wrong
- modem type in config or have not configured the
- modem correctly.
- 0,1 modem types require that auto answer switch
- be set to NOT ANSWER THE PHONE or register S1 must be
- set to 0. To use this, your system MUST support
- the ring detect line.
-
- 2,3 modem types require that auto answer switch
- MUST BE SET TO ANSWER THE PHONE or register S1 must
- be 1 or higher. We recommend 2 rings before answering
- because some computer's uarts are slow in responding.
