Link232 Wifimodem issues continue

@codetsu this would be something that @bucko or @xtec would be able to answer so I will pass this on to them.

Sorry to bother you again with Wi-Fi modem questions.
Even though the major issues have been resolved, I’d like to look into this flow control problem as well.

Description of the issue:
The screen output breaks up, as if flow control weren't active. I’ve tried various ways to verify that it is enabled, yet the problem persists—specifically on the PC and the Amiga.

I’ve had a bit of extra time to look into the matter again.
I noticed something odd:
the text/menus break apart when the C64 shifts the screen upwards,
and then return to normal once the screen shift stops?!?
How are these things connected?

This happens even when I use the Amiga as a terminal; 
although the text appears on the screen at a speed of around 300 baud, 
the C64's screen scrolling still messes up the output.

Another question: 
which flow control pin does the machine-language program monitor 
when the BBS is sending data? I need to know this so I can verify that 
the modem is actually working correctly. 
There are no flow control issues when using C64 terminals, though...?!?

 

The screen flipping upper and lower case is normal for the BBS screen, it should show fine on the user side. I run quite a few movie files on my board and they flip between upper and lower case and are fine on the user side. The BBS side will sometimes flip to upper case and stay there until the BBS hits a \q1 to reset the MCI and color codes.. The screen flipping is not a flow control issue..

A couple of things to remember when it comes to screens and Image 3.0. The word wrap feature breaks the screen up if your screens are longer then 38 columns, or in 80 column mode 78 colums. The reason is the editor tries to word wrap the line. Keep all of your screens to 38 columns or less.

Not sure which pin is handling flow control, if there is a pin handling it. Maybe @larryhedman can answer that..
