    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.

    Modified Files:

    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.

    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.

    Modified Files:
    src/sexpots/sexpots.c
    Log Message:
    Increase buffer size from 4096 to 10000 in handle_call()

    Log errors if/when comWriteBuf() fails.

    This is to hopefully help to root-cause or even possibly resolve the issue reported in #synchronet by PyRoDrAkE:
    "It all works well until the Dialup connection runs slower than 4800 baud
    using SexPots. I connect from my XT at either 1200 baud or 2400 baud and it would just stop drawing midway."

    There shouldn't be any write timeout in comWriteBuf(), so I don't know why
    this would help, but it's worth a try. Logging any comWriteBuf() errors is
    also a good idea in general.
