To things happened on my Birthday this year; 1) I was gifted a M*I*N*T Digital decwriter II terminal to add to my collection, and 2) my first WiModem232 showed up!
I put a new ribbon in the decwriter, set it to 300 baud (its max speed) and plugged in the WiModem232. I powered the WiModem232 on, got the White led, and much to my glee the decwriter printed out:
Looking for router...
No router located!
Then I got a red LED. None of my AT commands work, even though they display on the printer. If I remove the power and plug it back into the WiModem232, I get the same messages and then nothing.
I should have saved all my old serial port breakout gear from back when I wrote Qmodem, but I didn't. I've ordered replacements and should have them this coming weekend. I just cannot confirm or deny that the decwriter is actually sending data to the wimodem or not. It is in Line mode and not Local, so I think what I am seeing on the terminal is actually being echoed back from the wimodem, but I am not sure.
Thoughts?
Cheers!
