Summary: Modem problem Message-ID: <1991Jun3.101350.23882@hellgate.utah.edu> Date: 3 Jun 91 16:13:50 GMT Organization: University of Utah CS Dept Lines: 40 One of my friends has a problem with his modem, and the set-up. Does anybody of the Novell wizards out there how to help a poor Norwegian??? Thanks -gl I can't get the BIOScom routine in Turbo C++ to work properly. What I am trying to do is to read the serial prot with the following settings #define SETTINGS (0xA0|0x00|0x00|0x03) // 2400 baud, No parity, 1 Stop bit, 8 bit data byte. The initialisation is done in the following way: bioscom(0, SETTINGS, ); Then I am trying to read the port: out = bioscom(2, 0, ); The problem seems to be that the routine will only read the lower 7 bits without returning the most significant bit in the data byte. Has anyone had this problem? Any ways around it? Replys by e-mail or to the News net, whatever you might find most apropriate. Thanks............. Stein Andresen sandrese@peruvian.utah.edu
