C64U online
I have been following your articles in Compute! I tried the online game search from the February issue and when I run it, it just hangs at Connecting… The other day I finished typing in the Basic HTML browser from the March issue and have the same Connecting issue. I am able to use the BBS software from the very second to connect to bbses so I am not sure what I am missing your programs.
For the html program, I have tried troubleshooting and see that it is stuck at the a loop at line 335 IF (S AND 8)=0 THEN GOTO 330
(S AND 8) seem to always be 0
I am very excited to get this to work. I have included a screenshot of my modem settings. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris
Sorry I was away a couple of days showing my friend from Calgary around so I was offline to decompress.
First are you on the latest firmware? https://commodore.net/downloads/
Chris Garrett No worries. Always good to decompress :)
Yes, I am on the most recent version, but I also added spiffy (1.1.0s2).
Maybe that is causing an issue?

Ok, so to test, I installed the 1.1.0. Still didn't work, but I was able to connect to a bbs with ultimate II.
Chris Boyle the new firmware seems to have broken my earlier approach so I am working on new code that uses the driver loaded into assembly :)
Will update here when all the examples are working but the foundational code is good to go
Chris Garrett Ok. So it wasn't just me :) Thanks Chris! Looking forward to the updated code. I was trying very hard to understand how the communication to the modem was working, but I don't know enough to figure out how to tell if it was even communicating with the modem.
Thanks again!!!
Chris
