Subject: BYE with TRS-80 Models II/12/16

Due to mailer problems, this message may have been lost and  is  being
resent.

CP/M users of the TRS-80 Models II/12/16 with D.C.  Hayes  smartmodems
can  now use bye3-16 to set up bulletin board and downloading systems.
Include b3sio-3.asm in the bye3-16.asm file as per instructions.   Set
BYELOW  equal  to  NO.  (For some reason, with BYELOW equal to YES, at
the point where BYE wants to enter CP/M the  system  hangs,  at  least
with  Pickles  and Trout CP/M 2.2m.  If anyone figures out why, please
let me know.)  Set the other options as desired.  In the  sio  section
of  the code, set the base port address to F4 (port A) or F6 (port B).
(I do not know what value to use  for  the  baud  rate  port,  but  it
doesn't  seem  to matter if you use the setup menu of CP/M 2.2m to set
the appropriate port at, say, 300 baud and leave it  there.)   (Again,
if anyone figures that one out, please let me know.)

After assembling the program move the COM file  to  A:   drive.   Make
sure  to  rename the object code so that people don't type 'bye' in an
attempt to log off and get the bye3 program instead; again the  system
will  hang.   Instead, create a short program called 'bye' which, when
invoked, types 'please hang up now' over and  over.   Hanging  up  the
remote line will cause bye3 to reset itself for the next call.

Now reduce the size of your CP/M to leave room at the top  of  memory.
With  P&T  CP/M  2.2m, the menu commands SC and LA will get you to the
point where you can redefine the top of CP/M.  I use EFFF  with  BYE3,
instead  of the default FFFF.  After resetting the system according to
the menu instructions and setting the desired port baud rate, you  are
ready  to  type  the name of the bye3 program and you are in business.
