Modified Files:
src/sexpots/sexpots.c
Log Message:
Don't call com_setup() unless an alternate [COM:x] section is loaded

Apparently com_setup() (which just calls tcsetattr()) will cause an attached modem (with a caller) to disconnect the caller. So you can't do this with a live modem. Leave the hack in for Nelgin's null modem cable setup, but you can't (apparently) support both 8N1 and 7E1 "callers" with a real modem (not surprisingly, for multiple reasons).

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.

Log Message:
[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

Log Message:
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.

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.
