QNX AmigaXL what about modems!?!??!

[Mark]

I use an external modem, a Zoom 56k Faxmodem, and it wouldn't work at all with QNX until I patched phdialer.

If Dialer is saying "initializing modem" quickly followed by "connection failed," then you may need to patch /usr/photon/bin/phdialer.

What's happening is that before sending the modem initialization string and the phone number to dial, phdialer sends an "ATZ" command.  The problem is that some modems do a complete reset when they get ATZ and discard everything else that followed it.

To fix phdialer, using a hex editor, change 41 54 5A 00 to read 41 54 00 00.

Yes, QNX has an editor called spatch that works fine, or you can start AmigaXL and use your favorite Amiga hex/binary file editor.  In either case, I think you'll need to log in to QNX as root to do the job.

There is some QNX software at this URL:
