UPDATE: I have code and it functions - but I must not be understanding the coms between host and modem.

Is it legal to have 2

so both are used.

k_hash = 35 ' #
k_poundsign = 35 ' #

?? - I dunno was just curious...
But Id say 'Pound Sign' is more 'english friendly'..

Just my $.02

'#' could also be called 'Pound Sign' - as described in Voice mail systems in USA. Infers a weight in pounds.

Derived from lables showing weights
Example:

Bag of Ice
Wt# 7.5 (lbs.)

Is pretty common.

Hi all, How is swig used? I have a DLL with a VC6 SDK (with .h &lib) file When I tried: swig -freebasic XXXapi.h I get errors. but cant find what the errors mean; Warning <301> class keyword used, but not in C++ mode I followed the directions and made the DEF and DLL.A file - but Im lost at this...

Ok - I found a driver that works and also added the MODEMS sound driver also - Axtec or another manufacturer.. But the AT+FCLASS=8 works now and I can hear a click in the sound now because of the modem audio driver (unimodem) Ill look closer at the OPEN COM docs to set the RTS ans CTS for the mose m...

Unless I need to send other commands before the 'AT+FCLASS=8' - my modem wont use it - all I get is error. The Conexant docs I have are very detailed - but its not clear about dependancy of modes. Also - the 'terminal' proggie you posted doesnt communicate with the modem - Ive been testing the AT co...

AT+FCLASS=? - 0,1 Tells you that the modem supports data and fax (voice is class 8) AT#CLS=? This does set voice mode, but not on conexant. use AT+FCLASS=8 AT+GCI? Indicates the country of installation is B5 (United States) AT+GCI=? indicates all of the possible country codes that +...

Thanks CoderJeff This is helpfull - I wasnt sure it was even possible to be so simple.. So, because of your particular modem, you basically (hehe - puns) told the modem the needed AT commands - then waited/listened for responses from modem. I s this correct? If so - its good and bad actually: My mod...

Thanks for the reply... So - its mostly just a matter of knowing the correct 'AT' commands - is this what you were refering to here: I programmed the modem directly using the command specs from the technical manual. This made sense since I was only writing the application for a specific type of mode...

Hmm...

I see tumble weeds - is freebasic dying?

While im pretty new to freebasic - I have used basic for some time, but never for interfacing with hardware in windows. I have winXPSp2 and a modem thats all but useless now with broadband. I (*think*) understand there are WinAPI functions involved - as well as 3rd party lib to simplify TAPI interfa...

The tilted ones do not work in FB, as they're not quotes, but unicodeish thingys..

Unicode is evil..

Ahhh Yes - this sounds about right..

Kind of a nogen scratcher for a noob...

hehe leave it to a noob to cause a ruckus.. lol Any - THE FIRST thing I tried was copy and paste a 'complex' hello world' example - and the PRINT statement was in errror - as it turns out, the quotes needed deleteing and re-making to make it function - I thought before, I fixed the problem with chan...

I seem to have found that I can't copy and paste code into FBIDE from these forums. - I thinks its from CR/LF corruption. ??

But for a noob - it can be quite the painful learning experience.
