MUBBS works fine on all the above computers. I tested MUBBS on the new "powerbooks" a while back, but just logged in from the screen.
MUBBS NEVER "crashed" ! If you have this happen, you have a INIT problem most likely.
ALL of the cables I tested were compatable and correct in sending back Carrier Detect. Data Spec was one standard brand that is corrrect.
The carrier detect problems I ran into were because of the modem NOT sending the Carrier detect back properly.
Some of the modems kept carrier detect ACTIVE all the time unless you told it NOT to.
IMPORTANT !!!
You NEED to send it "&C1" or "C1" or READ YOUR MODEM MANUAL to find out how to set it to "track DCD" (Data Carrier Detect) which means to turn carrier detect ON and OFF when people are online or not. Then you won't get the message "Carrier Detect Still Present" all the time.
********************************************
Some modems DONT send out carrier detect
unless you set the modem string up !
********************************************
ATC1 on some modems, AT&C1 on others ! You need to look in your modem's manual !
If its not set, carier detect WILL BE on ALL THE TIME !
It is normal to receive the "carrier present" message a few times when the modem is hanging up, or resetting.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to not use Carrier Detect !
MOST STORE PURCHASED CABLES ARE OK !! (there's a modem cable file here also)
SEE THE "MODEM STRINGS" FILE IN THE HELP SECTION FOR MORE INFO!
