While being logged on, record the whole session to cassette, and reread it later or download the files from the playback! It is particularly useful if you don't own a disk drive and there isn't enough memory to download a couple of large files at one log-on. This only works if you are using the built in modem. Here's how: 1) Put a microphone at the earpiece of the telephone, start recording, and log on. 2) After logging off, stop the recorder, plug in the cassette connector to the phone port, instead of cass port. 3) Switch to acoustic coupler setting 4) Go to TELCOM and press F4(terminal mode), or run the short basic program at the end of this file. 5) Rewind to the beginning of the transmission, which is the carrier, and play it. If you have CCR-82 data recorder, set volume to 3 mark. Experiment if you have an ordinary recorder. 6) To capture files to ram, you must time yourself, since the incoming data cannot wait for the File name? input. You must know when data is coming and ready the capture buffer before it comes. Run this program as an alternative to TELCOM. Its advantage is that it is immune to Lost Carrier, so you can fast forward or rewind. 10 MAXFILES=2 15 ONERROR GOTO 110 40 PRINT "Press 'D' to Download, 'A' to Abort." 45 OPEN"MDM:7I1ENN"FORINPUTAS1 50 K$=INKEY$:IFK$=""THENK$=" "ELSEIFK$="M"THENMENU 55 IFINSTR("Dd",K$)THENCLOSE2:D=1:PRINT:INPUT"FILE NAME";F$:PRINT"Append?
