I asked several times, but did not get any reply as maybe ppl don't use
rebol serial port heavily. The problem is, that once I send more than
two bytes into device, it will not accept it or the result is completly
screwed. I then tried Hyperterminal - I loaded some.txt file I had and I
could see hyperterminal sends those chars one by each other. So - as an
immediate help - try to write short func, e.g. as following:
string: "ATDT123123^M"
send-comm: func [string-to-send [string!]][foreach char string-to-send
[insert comm-port char]]
send-comm string
At least something like that helped me ... and - while in /no-wait mode
- if you want/need to wait for the reply from comm port - don't forget
to put wait comm-port imeidatelly after call of send-comm, or rebol will
not wait for the answer and runs out ...
HTH,
