The Sinclair QL Forum

Just in case anyone else has this device: The double char issue is an issue with the firmware of the adapter/modem. A bunch of people om the discord support server have the same issue.

Thank you!

May have to wait until this weekend - I need to dig out the disks and drives and I've got a week from hell, work wise

BTW the BBS i was trying to connect to was floppy.museum, if anyone fancies taking a peek. Runs on an OS/2 BBS package, which makes me happy (long time OS/2 fan).

Yep that's the strange thing - it was double echoing with echo off, then I did your trick and it was displaying correctly, then I ran the set the baud rate to 9600 on the modem and in the terminal, all good. However, after running the configurator and permanently setting the baud to 9600, it stopped...

Setup is QL(SER2) -> adapter cable -> WIFI modem. There is nothing beyond the modem. Anway, after running the config prog to store ...

Hello I wonder whether anyone can help me out. I’m trying to connect my BBQL (Tetroid SGC, Hermes, JS ROM) to the web.

Thank you both
