Hi Dan, I'm not an expert on Debian so I'm hoping my fellow NCID developers will hop in here. If you go to INSTALL/UPGRADE from DEB Package and scroll to Install NCID from DEB packages at SourceForge, which of the four methods are you trying to use? Is the main issue best summed up where your post says the following: 💥 Cause: The .deb package for ncid-client1.18-1all.deb explicitly depends on python (the legacy Python 2.x metapackage), which has been removed from recent Debian versions (like 12+)....

John, did you mean to type https://ncid.sourceforge.io/man/cidcall.1.html instead of nomad.changeip.org? I thot nomad.changeip.org was only used as a way for us developers to review the docs before a release? Maybe I'm wrong. :(

Hi Allan, I like it! I tried it out on my NCID v1.17 release and it didn't give any output unfortunately, because it's expecting a cidcall.log file with the field pairs from NCID v1.11 and earlier. It was also hardcoded to always look for the LINE field pair as having the valuePOTS. Client code accessing cidcall.log is expected to handle field pairs getting moved around. I don't know JavaScript but I have a friend who has access to ChatGPT o3-mini and helped me make the following changes (attached,...

FYI, I tested with a two-monitor setup on my Win11 machine and am not able to duplicate the issue. Text in the NCID client is readable regardless of which monitor I move it to.

To the Anonymous poster, In addition to the questions/tests that bgr_bgr (Bruno) asks: Could you go into the NCID client and do Help->About->Copy to Clipboard and paste the results on this thread? How are your dual monitors connected -- HDMI, DisplayPort? Are they both connected the same way or one on HDMI and the other on DisplayPort? Or something else entirely?

I have three machines that I can do some testing on. I carefully compared the output of "encoding names" and they are identical for all three machines.

Hi Alex, The Apple MA034Z/A is definitely not compatible with newer macOS versions, nor the few Linux machines I've now tried. Even Windows cannot find a driver for it. When I executed sudo cat /proc/tty/driver/ttyAMA on Linux and it reported "PL011" I thought this meant an earlier version of the Prolific serial driver, which gave me some hope, but now I see it is for a different serial purpose; ttyAMA0 was not Linux assigned to the Apple Modem at all. It gets assigned whether the Apple modem is...
