REVISION HISTORY for MSXTIPRO.ASM

REVLVL=1  29-Oct-84  First version to be able to transfer files
REVLVL=2  14-Nov-84  Fixed bugs in version 1
REVLVL=3  27-Nov-84  Added Tektronix-4010 emulation in CONNECT mode,
                     now works with TI internal modem, any port.
REVLVL=4             Started interrupt code.  Renamed MSXTEK to MSYTIPRO.ASM
REVLVL=5  25-Jun-85  Finished H19 emulation, now works at 9600 baud.

      -- CHANGES --

MSXTIPRO has been tested with the Sync/Async Comm Card at all speeds from
110 to 9600 baud.  Works with COMM card in any port, 1 thru 4.

This version of KERMIT will work with a TI internal modem.

To use the internal modem, SET PORT 3, SET BAUD 300, CONNECT.
With external phone, type "O" to go into manual original mode.
Or type "T1(617)467-7437X" to use the built-in dialer.  Capital T
means to use touch-tones, capital X marks the end of the number.

Can transfer file-packets at 9600 baud (but not 19.2 kbaud).

The VT52 "identify yourself" sequence of ESC,'Z' is not working right.
It should respond as an H-19 or VT52 terminal.

       -- BUGS --

No known bugs in the MSXTIPRO portion of KERMIT.
MSYTIPRO clears the screen when the KERMIT escape character is typed, and does
not repaint the screen when CONNECT is resumed.

       -- DEFICIENCIES --

The STATUS command is wrong if you select port 2, 3, or 4.
*** According to the MSXSYS.DOC, flags.comflg is supposed to be 0
*** when using port 2.  This makes it difficult to use ports 3 and 4.

The SET HEATH-19 ON/OFF command needs to be replaced by a new command,
SET TERMINAL-EMULATION ON/OFF/HEATH-19/VT52/VT100/VT102/ADM3A/TVI910/etc.

ANSI.SYS is a part of the TI-BIOS, but it does not fully emulate a VT100.

The commands to the TI internal modem are not the same as Hayes Smartmodem.

       -- SUGGESTIONS --
[Send suggestions via U.S. mail to Dan Smith, CSM Computing Center,
 1500 Illinois Street, Golden, CO  80401   (303)273-3396]

Finish implementing a generalized ESCape sequence processor that can handle
both HEATH19/VT52 and ANSI/VT100 sequences.  It should be general enough to
run on any 8088/8086 CPU regardless of hardware or operating system.

Add ReGIS(GIGI/VT125/VT241) emulation in addition to Tektronix 4105 emulation.
It should be written so that it can be used on the TI-PRO, IBM-PC, Rainbow-100.

Add routine to translate Hayes "AT" commands to TI internal modem commands.
