I gave this a try for the first time yesterday.
I paired a WiModem232 attached to an Amiga running "TERM". The other computer was a C64 with WiModem (set to 9600baud) running Novaterm9.6c. Both modems have the latest firmware (v6.20).
I successfully transferred a .d64 image over Xmodem without errors, although the file size does call for some patience. Even knowing where my expectations should be, I still thought "couldn't this be faster?"
I did the same test with ZModem (just for giggles) but I saw familiar errors on the C64 side. I don't know of any scenario where Novaterm's Zmodem has ever worked error free...unless in a rare case where I used it over an analog modem in that past. My memory is hazy on that. I should note that I tested it using both a .d81 image and REU as the download drive.
Having tested the nullmodem option to my satisfaction, I powered off my C64 and turned it back on. I noticed the WiModem was taking longer than usual to find my router. It came back saying no router found! Hmm...I *did* remember to add the "0" after the command so it would be temporary. Could it have placed it in permanent mode instead?
Here is my exact typing of the command:
at*nullmodem0
I then power cycled the WiModem232 and the same thing happened. It failed to find my modem. I also noted at this point that the OLED status showed "no wifi".
Okay, so let's see if I can simply reconnect it to my SSID. Yep, that worked. Did a test BBS connection. Good there also.
So, did I not issue the command correctly or is the modem going into permanent mode regardless of the added 0?
