You may contact the author with bug reports or suggestions for improvement
via FidoNet mail at Net 129 Node 11 - First Sanyo Opus - for non-commercial
purposes only.
If you wish to distribute this driver with a commercial communications
package, just write. I will be glad to authorize free usage of this
type, as long as no extra money is charged above the regular price of
package. I wish to keep track of this kind of usage so that regular
updates can be distributed.
This program implements the Fido/Opus/SEAdog Standard Inferface Layer
(FOSSIL) functions for the the Sanyo MBC-55x. It is a complete implementation
of the FOSSIL driver as defined by version 5 of the FOSSIL specification.
This driver implements all 27 functions defined in the current FOSSIL
spec. It also implements the user appendage functions (the extended
dispatcher).
The current version of this driver ignores the port number passed in DL.
SanyCOMM is upwardly compatible with the Sanyo MBC-55x BIOS, int 14h,
functions 0 - 4. FOSSIL function 4 is a superset of int 14h, function 4.
SanyCOMM is now an installable device driver. Put SanyCOMM.SYS in your
root directory and add the following statement to your CONFIG.SYS file:
Device=SanyCOMM.SYS
SanyCOMM completely replaces the standard Sanyo driver for devices AUX
and COM1, and adds a device named FOSSIL$. All i/o to these devices
automatically is routed through the FOSSIL driver, including redirected
console i/o.
SanyCOMM has been tested fully in production use with BinkleyTerm 1.30,
Opus 1.10.ii/gamma, and SEAdog v4.1. It has also been fully tested for
proper operation with GT-PowerComm v13.00F. The driver uses a 4k receive
buffer and a 1k transmit buffer.
