has anyone been able to get this to work? If so please e-mail me ok? I would appreciate a step by step because it is hard to understand the readme file that came with the zip file...

joey:::

Step by step, how to transfer file:

1) Download server software from simtel. In readme is given URL, but I made one mistake, file name source. Executable is in file e951123.zip
/somewhere on net there is newer version which contains WWW server/

2) Connect gray graphlink cable between PC and TI89

3) Create on your PC directories c:\spool and c:\public

4) Unpack NOS to directory c:\spool
To directory c:\public put the files you want transfer
to TI89
5) Copy the file autoexec.net to directory c:\spool

6) Edit file autoexec.net and change line

attach asy 0x2f8 3 slip ticalc 1024 1024 9600

to your RS232 port /mine is 2F8(COM2) and IRQ 3/

7) Start TI Graphlink software. Send titcp10.89z to
TI89

8) Archive titcp10.89z for every case

9) Close TI Graph link software

10) Start NOS on your PC

11) Start titcp10() on your TI89

12) Insert for local IP address 192.168.0.64
Insert for remote IP address 192.168.0.1
For protocol choose for example FTP

13) On PC you will see many IP packets. Wait until
TI89 shows -- Open --

14) After receiving copyright message type on your
TI89

user anonymous

15) Wait until TI89 asks for password then type

pass x

16) Wait for message Logged in. Type

list

to see directory

17) When list is over type

retr filename.ext

where filename.ext is file you want to transfer

18) Look at ############# on the screen. When hashes
stop, press ESC.

19) Press ESC again to leave TI89 TCP/IP

20) Look the file received. If it was correctly closed,
it will contain your transfered file. /sometimes
occur that size is 65520 bytes, I do not know reason
for this bug/

"your RS232 port /mine is 2F8(COM2) and IRQ 3/ "

huh?

"attach asy 0x2f8 3 slip ticalc 1024 1024 9600

to your RS232 port /mine is 2F8(COM2) and IRQ 3/"

The standard settings for COM ports 1 through four are below:

Port...Address...IRQ
COM1...0x3F8.....4
COM2...0x2F8.....3
COM3...0x3E8.....4
COM4...0x2E8.....3

Using this, for COM1 through COM4, you get the following command lines, respectively:

attach asy 0x3f8 4 slip ticalc 1024 1024 9600
attach asy 0x2f8 3 slip ticalc 1024 1024 9600
attach asy 0x3e8 4 slip ticalc 1024 1024 9600
attach asy 0x2e8 3 slip ticalc 1024 1024 9600

eh, to bad the server isnt win2k compatible...hey, Samir you know of any win2k versions of the server? i looked a little bit but no luck

Sorry, no. However, NOS is quite small, you can put it on one bootable DOS floppy.

I searched on Internet many solutions for SLIP server. TI limited choice because they use DTR/CTS for power supply of graphlink cable. Currently NOS is the only one, at least temporar solution that was useful.

What I dream about is special modem for TI89. There is chip ST75C540 /about 25 $ / which contains about 70% required electronic for one modem. This chip can be also 3 channel tone generator. Such device can fit in
one 5 cm x 5 cm box.

Maybe Sami Khamwan or any other hardware genius can design this device.

"I do not know how to realise on Linux SLIP with permanently raised DTR and CTS lines, required for power of Graphlink."

Even with the -L option to slattach ? There must be a solution...

I have five Linuxes: RedHat 5.2, SUSE 5.2, Monkey Linux, XDenu and Slackware 3.1
Quite old versions, because I usualy take Linux from cover CD-s, I hate long download.

Unfortunantelly, some of these Linuxes have not slattach at all, some of them have old versions without -L or without SLIP at all.

I know that mixing of distributions is not good practice, due to library dependences, so I need a help for correct instalation of current slattach.

Ouch :( Sure, it's kinda old stuff (but functionnal anyway ;) )

The man page for slattach states :

[-L] Enable 3 wire operation. The terminal is moved into
CLOCAL mode, carrier watching is disabled.

I thing that's what should help... Can someone check ? (Only have a ti92- :( and VTI under VMWare doesn't seem to apreciate COM ports (even when redirected to ttys), as under Wine :( )

I tried to get slattach working in linux, but it seems that it doesn't work with either 2.2.x or 2.4-test.x kernels, so I tried slattach in freebsd.
I did this :

kldload if_sl.ko
ifconfig sl0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.64
slattach -l /dev/ttyd0

and to my surprise tcpdump on sl0 started to show packets
I managed to log in to my ftp once, but that's all :)

I'll keep trying today/tomorrow, got school in 2h, gotta sleep :)

please email me if you get it to work

Sure, sleep (and health) is _far_ more important than every thing else (sometime I should follow my advises...)

BTW, be careful, I don't know for *BSD (free.bsdshell.net seems down, so I don't have an access to a BSD system currently) under Linux, there are both -l and -L options to slattach and the 'L' one is the good one.

Enjoy ;)

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, but slattach for bsd has different options.

-l Disable modem control (CLOCAL) and ignore carrier detect on the slip port. By default the redial-command is invoked upon carrier drop and slattach aborts if no redial-command is specified.

That's equivalent to -L for Linux slattach.

Hmm, I connect to the Internet and all (at home) through a LAN. Can I still use this?

Very aweseome program. I've been waiting for something comperable to the 83 telnet program. anyway, i can log on to the ticalc ftp up until it asks for the password. I type in x and it denies my permission everytime! Is there something else I should type there? I've also tried to put my e-mail address for a password becuase that is the standard password for an anonymous login, but I can't type the @ symbol in my address while the program is running! Can someone help me on this? Also, if i want to connect to another server, what do i change in the autoexec.net file? Thanks for your help.

Ouch, I forgot yet one step. In /spool directory you need to have yet one file, FTPUSERS
One line in this file can be
anonymous * /public 1

To type @ use degree symbol (2nd | )

Would be cool if someone could run a chat bot off a larger calculator using some tcp code :) Now THAT would be impressive.
Even if they had to modify the memory storage and etc.

Shpiffness.... I am going to have to try this....
Maybe I'll finally get around to putting shtuff on the calc...
And then I'll have something to show friends at school... hehe…

hey... does it work for the $4 serial link cable?

No, because $4 cable uses really nonstandard protocol.

What about the Black-Link?

You know what I think is really funny is that if there is a TI-Server type thing made, people could hack your TI :).

I only do web and computer programming stuff, but maybe I could make a page that would uhm... do interactive stuff with the calculator. Anyone have any ideas of stuff they might like to see? As far as internet languages go, I know Perl, PHP, HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, and all that good sh*t.

Yeah.

I think You could just create a perl script that would write keycodes to the serial port and ask for a sceen dump
but only 1 person could use it at a time or you could cause major confusion with 70 people trying to graph and program different things all at the same time.
you could make the keyboard a image map but that would be slow as heck.
tell you if I think of anything else
Note I use a usb so I can not use the prob myself
too bad
he needs to try to make a usb mod for it
