PDW Support / SSL Email Support

« Last post by rodentkj on 21 Mar 2023, 17:54:29 »

The typical free email providers ended SSL email support some time ago.
Xfinity / Comcast is ending there support for it at the end of this month. Which puts me in a pickle as for I have get to locate an email service that still supports whatever SSL version is PDW supports.

Anyone know of a free or reasonably priced email service that supports the version of SSL that PDW uses?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to read the encryption code on a swissphone resq if you have the actual installation file for the pager. I think the code is somewhere in the file??

PDW Support / Language.df table / How do I add custom characters?

« Last post by Clerco15 on 21 Aug 2022, 14:03:28 »

In the language.df file it says you can add more languages on your own.

I've tried adding letters ?šž for Slovene (both lower and upper case) and I selected them in Character Set option but decoded messages containing those letters still replace them with a symbol.

That's how I added them


That's how it comes out (this particular word is poŽar so uppercase Ž which get's replaced with @)


Font is Courier New and I also installed the font on my system. I've tried it on both versions, v3.2b and v3.12 and get the same result.

PDW Support / VAC mapping

« Last post by pnoelw on 03 Jun 2022, 19:06:45 »

Until recently, I had 10 VAC's enabled and had been running 3 instances of PDW on cables 7-9. I recently increased to 20 VAC cables and have been using most of these succesfully with other software (ALE, HFDL, etc).

Today I ran PDW again and couldn't get any signal through on the same 7 to 9 cables. After running through all 20 I eventually found that the cable mapping in PDW has got mixed up so
VAC line 7 comes in on the PDW dropdown under 13. Line 20
VAC line 8 > PDW 14. Line 4
VAC line 9 > PDW 3. Line 3

I'm sure there's a perfectly logical reason but is there a solution?

Regards
Noel.

Data Slicers and Interfaces / Re: FSK to USB interface

Thanks for the reply Rene.  I found an interesting site that make reference to settings for working with FTDi chips.  It makes an interesting suggestion about advanced settings of your com port when using FTDI chips. https://www.digi.com/support/knowledge-base/optimizing-usb-to-serial-port-settings.  The standard 9600 bit per second is shown however there is a vast difference in the receive bytes, transmit bytes and latency speed settingsin advanced settings.  I am trying these at the moment and a noticeable difference in regards to "cleaner" messages being displayed, that is not as many garbles which sometimes appear.

Normally, you shouldn't have to worry about the COM port settings, but the speed to the PC is 19200 8N1 as well.

You can use a serial port monitoring program to see the data sent to the PC.
