I'm sorry that I have not made myself
clear the first time. Let me try
again.
I understand that SX-Express (or ANY
Express program) is not designed to do
the things that I want it to do. I
also understand that with proper doc-
umentation I could write either:
1) A modem program that works with
the very limited handler that I
do have . . .
or . . .
2) A SX-Handler that allows me to use
the term programs that I have
and liked with my old 300 baud
modem.
My problem is two-fold.
1) I have no technical documentation
on the SX-Companion handler that
I am useing, so I cannot get it
to do anything other than execute
SX-Express. I cannot even get to
DOS or BASIC after loading it!!!!
2) I have no technical documentation
on the modem so that I can write
my own handler for it. Typical
to Atari, the owner's manual that
I received barely tells me how
to turn the modem on.
Fortunatly, I have worked with Hayes
modems, and as far as command-set goes,
the SX212 seems to be 100% compatable
(right down to the S-Registers!).
So I repeat my question!
Does anyone either have a term program
that works on the SX212 and supports
the type of options I want, or a
handler for the SX212 that allows me to
use my old programs like HomePack and
VT10^2.
A distant third would be the doc-
umentation that I have said that I
cannot get.

P.S. If you look carefully, your pre-
vious answer did not say ANYTHING
that my previous question did not.
If you cannot help me youself,
maybe you can suggest as to who
can?

Maybe I should be a little clearer
also: I don't know...
Suggestion:
-----------
If you are an ML wizard, disassemble
the code and try to figure it out.
I don't know who wrote the handler,
but you could write them a letter and
ask them for some information.
