Mike:
Is the only thing you changed the phone number?  The first thing you need to
do is a comm trace to see what is happening at the protocol level.  The
first thing you should see in a BSC conversation is the SYNC character being
sent by you and the remote system should respond with an ACK0.  The SYNC
char is represented as a hex 2D and the ack as a 1061.
Who is the primary and who is the secondary station?  If you need to know
how to run or read the trace, let me know.

grown RPG application.  The homegrown application works fine but just
changing the controller to call a new number does not work.  The modems
connect and appear happy but the RPG application gets stuck waiting for
permission to send the first record (a $$ADD statement).  They say they are
BYSYNC 3780 are their end.  Does anyone know how to file transfer an 80 byte
file to a 3780 device ?
