by I got a boot message about "checksum error in CMOS, reverting to
defaults". Thrilling.
The defaults weren't so hot (no hard disk) but I have now got
everything back on the air.
Except the modem. My usual DIP script gets an error. Running DIP
interactively, I can open /dev/modem fine, and "reset" produces
a clunk from the modem's relay. But, then,
>>send ATLO\r
>>wait OK 4
DIP: tty: getc: I/O error.
with $errlvl of -1. I ran WinFaxLite under Windows 3.1, and it gave
essentially the same result -
"initializing modem", clunk, "dialling...", hangs/nothing happens.
If I have the COM ports wrong, how did the software find the relay?
(This is a 2-year-old Xenon PC with PCI,IDE,cdrom,QIC-80 tape,14.4 modem.
It has Award Modular BIOS 4.50. Tape,cdrom,mouse and keyboard are working.)
Thanks for any help!
