Help - 5mx link to compuserve!!

[John Burgess]

Hi all

Can anyone please help me.
I have had a Psion 5mx for many years now and entered this site at that time because I was having problems linking my Psion to Compuserve. I was given a login script which worked well for several years. I had not used it for a while but now I get a message on the Psion "Internet service login script timed out, Internet service login script may be incorrect".
Could it have become corrupted in some way?
Does anyone know the script so that I can re-enter it?
Or, Would I be better connecting my Psion via another ISP and if so which ones do you recommend?
I connect using an Ericsson I888 mobile phone via IR with an internal modem in the phone.
I would really appreciate any help and/or advice you can give.

Hi John,

I'll bet it was Mike McConnell who supplied the script. Check out hte Series 5mx page of his site to get a fresh copy:

Although I am no longer a member of CompuServe, I believe this script still works:

! 8-bit CompuServe script - MGMcC Nov 2001
start:
LOOP 3
{
SEND <0x0d>
WAIT 10

{":" cis}
}
EXIT KErrTimeOut$

cis:
SEND "CIS"+<0x0d>
WAIT 10

{":" login}

EXIT KErrTimeOut$

login:
SEND login_name$+"/NOINT/PPP:CISPPP"+<0x0d>
WAIT 10

{":" password}

EXIT KErrTimeOut$

password:
SEND login_pass$+<0x0d>
EXIT

failure:
EXIT KErrLoginFail$

Thanks Mike

I never could find out how to cut and paste from the web to my Psion - last time I typed it in and although it needed some adjustments I managed to get it to work.

I have typed it in again but alas no joy so far.

Could you enlighten me how to cut and paste it please.

Thanks

If you have the script in the PC, you should copy and paste it into Notepad (do NOT use a word processor such as MS Word) and save the plain text file.

Transfer the plain text file to the Psion (straight copy without conversion), open a new blank Psion "Word" file and import the text file. Without saving the Word file, copy the script with Ctrl-C and paste it into the script box in "Control Panel / Internet" with Ctrl-V

You must use the keyboard shortcuts to copy & paste as the silkscreen buttons won't work here, or at least 'paste' won't work.

I will send you the script by private mail because copying from a website such as this might corrupt the file.
