    Modified Files:
    src/sexpots/sexpots.c
    Log Message:
    Add optional debug-level logging of all chars received over COM port/device

    Set Debug=true in the [com] section of sexpots.ini to enable this (and you'll need to be logging debug-level message as well). For Nelgin.

    [com] Debug will enable transmit debug log output (in addition to receive)

    Log the characters themselves of ASCII values (between 32 and 126) for com debug log messages. Still a separate log message/line for every character
    (so very chatty/verbose).

    This fixes issue (feature request) #510

    Implement write-retry in modem_send()

    In attempt to address the "Error 11" (EAGAIN) error theat Nelgin sees when configuring some longer modem init strings on Linux.

    This is just a single retry (after a yield) after any modem command char
    send failure (for any reason), including the terminating carriage-return.

    See issue #662 to details.

    This is just a single retry (after a yield) after any modem command char send failure (for any reason), including the terminating carriage-return.

    im guessing that it's the &W he has at the end of the init string. some modems (including mine for some reason) won't send an OK when they get that.

    as you can see in a previous message, mine is a lot longer than his but works fine. I think his EAGAIN could be a resource conflict in some form of buffer maybe. ie sending data too fast (not that it should matter).

    not knowing his setup i couldnt answer that, but i would put money on it being on a cheap usb/serial adapter :D

    i think it's because some people throw settings that cant be stored with that method in the ram. i wouldn't even use a long init string. keep it simple.

    This should now display pretty normally on both 40 and 80 column displays.

    "FreeBSD" is 7 chars, so make that the max expected platform name (for now).

    Addresses issue #746, request from Nelgin

    If configured COM port byte size is less than 8, strip high 8-n bits on RX

    Some USB modems (reportedly, USRobotics USB modem) don't strip the parity bit of data received from modem connections operating in < 8 bit modes
    (e.g. 7-E-1), as is normally don't with a modem connected to a UART, so we'll do that stripping (forcing to 0) here, as recommended by Deuce.

    Nelgin, if you're doing some manually stripping of the 7th bit bytes received from 7-E-1 connected modems and then sent to your server/BBS over TCP, you shouldn't need to do that now.
