TFPCX Version 2.71 (23. March 1998) by Henk de Groot, PE1DNN Based on TFPCX 2.21 by Ren‚ Stange, DG0FT Based on TF27b by NORD>: n = 1-4 (Number of the COM-Port) The default address is the address known by the BIOS. default 4 (COM1 or COM3) or 3 (COM2 or COM4) will be used when not otherwise specified. The YAM modem does not support Soft-DCD. The @C will have no effect. The parameter @D (Duplex) will be ignored. - Added -SA option. For transmission the 'frame-sammler' function is off by default. By using -SA you can switch it on again. - At link-setup time timer T1 (frame-acknoledge timer) did not run, this resulted in an unusable link if at startup the first I frame was missed (T1 regulates retransmission). This problem occured freqently when the UA response to SABM at setup was missed and the CTEXT (U command) was send directly following the UA (occurs often when using SP or GP). - Before generating a RR response a check is done if DCD is active. If so the generation of the response is postphoned. This allows the use of much smaller @T2 values then those needed for KISS use. This will make the link faster and should be compatible now with TFPCX221 and earlyer.
