- INTRODUCTION
-
- This script was written to enable me to call my computer from work
- whenever I wished, yet the computer would still allow calls to go
- through to my answering machine normally. I began with the original
- host script that comes with Telemate 3.01, and added a 'Standby' mode
- which monitors incoming calls and puts the modem into answer mode for a
- short period of time. The original idea for this was mentioned in the
- Telemate SIG on the RIME network, so I can not take full credit for it.
-
- I have also added many other features to the script to make it perform
- more like a BBS. But this script was never meant to be a substitute for
- a real BBS, and as such does not have some of the more elaborate options
- such as a message base. I have tried to integrate options using only
- FREEWARE utilities such as Watchbird. (Which monitors carrier and
- closes the shell instead of re-booting the whole system when the carrier
- is dropped.) The configuration has been simplified, and no other
- utilities should be required to run this script.
-
-
- SUGGESTIONS or CHANGES
-
- This script is FREEWARE. Please feel free to change, modify, and use it
- as you like. I ask that no one post this script under the TEL-HOST name
- after making changes to it. I do plan on improving it as time goes on
- and would hate to see several different scripts with the same version
- number and name.
-
- Please send any suggestions or improved script to PAUL KRUSCHWITZ via
- the Telemate SIG on the RIME network. Or send them to the address
- below. If you feel like saving my marriage, you can send me $5 or
- whatever you feel this is worth. I have spent some serious time
- smoothing out the rough edges for general use. It will also allow me to
- justify further work on this with my wife. <Grin>

-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- You must be running a registered Telemate version 3.01 or greater.
- (Actually an unregistered version will work also. But no respectable
- person would want to do that.) <GRIN>
-
- The terminal window should have at least 25 lines for best performance.
- This does not include the menu and status bars at the top and bottom.
- Simply put, set the display for 27 or more lines.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Copy all files into a sub-directory of Telemate. You may create a
- special directory just for these files, but the following file must be
- located as follows...
-
- THCONFIG.SCR --- Must be in the default SCRIPT directory.
- The configuration file THCONFIG.SBH will be
- saved to that directory also.
-
- WABIRD.COM ----- Must reside in the PATH, such as the DOS directory
- which is almost always in the path.
-
-
-
- FILES
-
-
- HACTIVE.SBH ----- Text that displays when modem is in answer mode.
- HGOODBYE.SBH ---- Text that displays when logging off of the host.
- HMENU.SBH ------- The main menu used by the Host when on-line.
- HNEWUSER.SBH ---- Notice that is displayed to a new user.
- HNOTICE.SBH ----- Notice displayed after logging in.
- HPROT.SBH ------- Protocol menu.
- HSTANDBY.SBH ---- Text that displays while script is in Standby mode.
- HTITLE.SBH ------ Program title screen.
- HUSER.SBH ------- Data file containing user name, password, and level.
- HWELCOME.SBH ---- Initial welcome shown prior to logging in.
- TEL-HOST.SCR ---- The Tel-Host script.
- THCONFIG.SCR ---- The Tel-Host configuration script.
- TEL-HOST.DOC ---- This document.
- THCONFIG.SBH ---- Created by THCONFIG.SCR containing configuration info.
- README.TXT ------ Last minute information.
-
- FYI: The SBH stood for StandBy Host.
-
- All .SBH files used can be edited using any text editor. This allows
- easy customizing of the notices which are displayed when a person is
- on-line. Run the host in Local mode once and you will see where each
- file displays.
-
- If you find the need to edit the original Tel-Host.scr file, please do
- me the courtesy of dropping me a message detailing it. I monitor the
- Telemate RIME conference only. (Too cheap for any of the national
- boards like compu-serve.)
-
-
- FEATURES
-
- * Standby mode for sharing a single voice line.
- * Fully configurable delays.
- * Auto logoff after a download.
- * Improved Shell-to-Dos configuration. (Auto-configures)

-
- CONFIGURING THE HOST
-
- The first time you run TEL-HOST, you will be prompted to configure the
- program. THCONFIG.SCR will be run. IT MUST BE IN THE DEFAULT SCRIPT
- DIRECTORY!
-
- You will be presented with the following screen/options:
-
-
- Tel-Host Configuration
-
- A: New user level : 1
- B: Sysop level : 2
- C: Detect Baud Rate : ON
- D: Initial Baud Rate : 2400
- E: Yell Time : 5 seconds
- F: Yell Sound : 5 seconds
- G: Host Directory : \tm\host
- H: Download Directory : \data
- I: Upload Directory : \dataup
-
- Advanced features...
-
- J: Activation Delay : 40 seconds
- K: Inactive Timeout : 300 seconds
- L: Using D/W Cache? : YES Flush command = \pctools\pc-cache /flush
- M: Run Program : \tm\hremote.bat
- (See Tel-Host Documentation)
-
- S: Save configuration and run host mode
- Q: Abort configuration
-
- Which option:
-
-
- OPTION DEFINITION...
-
- A: New user level There are currently only two levels in this host
- -AND- script. If you want first time users to be able
- B: Sysop level to use the Sysop options, change A: to 2. Sysop
- level can also be increased if necessary.
- THERE ARE PLANS FOR ADDED LEVELS IN THE NEXT
- RELEASE. Feedback needed.
-
- C: Detect baud rate Sets this option for host. See TM documentation.
-
- D: Initial baud rate ditto
-
- E: Yell Time Yell Time determines how long the alarm sign
- -AND- displays when a chat is requested by user. Yell
- F: Yell Sound Sound determines how long the alarm sounds.
-
- G: Host Directory Set this to the directory that contains your
- Tel-host.scr and *.sbh files. NOTE: If you
- fail to set this accurately when first config-
- uring, you will receive a SCRIPT NOT FOUND error
- after saving the configuration file. Re-run
- the THCONFIG.SCR in you default script directory.
- (Tel-Host will run, but some of the screen files
- will not display... FILE NOT FOUND.)
-
- H: Download Directory Set this to the directory that you want callers
- to have access to for downloading files.
-
- I: Upload Directory Set this to the directory that you want the
- incoming files uploaded into. You can then
- check them for viruses before letting them be
- downloaded again.
-
- Advanced features...
-
- J: Activation Delay IMPORTANT! This is the most important setting.
- This is the amount of time that the computer
- will wait before putting the modem into answer
- mode. Set this value (in seconds) so that it
- will allow the phone to stop ringing. If you
- have an answering machine, set it so that the
- answering machine will pick up before the modem
- switches modes. If you do not have an answering
- machine, you may have to allow for the redicul-
- ously persistent person.
-
- REMEMBER: The time will start at the first ring.
-
- K: Inactive Timeout Set this for the number of seconds you wish to
- allow the host to be idle before automatically
- logging the person off.
- NOTE: SECONDS, NOT MINUTES!
-
- L: Using D/W Cache? Enter the command, including path if necessary,
- that you need to flush the Delayed Write Cache.
- This assures that all uploads are safe from
- system failure.
-
- Of course, if you do not use a Delayed Write
- Cache program, such as PcTools-PC-CACHE, then
- leave this option off.
-
- M: RUN Program Enter the file name, and path if necessary, that
- you want executed when the RUN program
- selection is made while on-line.
-
- S: Save Configuration file and run host
- - AND -
- Q: Abort Configuration
-
- *** If you can't figure out the last two selections, sell your
- computer. Better yet, send it to me. "A PC is a terrible thing
- to waste!" ***
-
-
- UPGRADING USER LEVEL
-
- You must manually update the HUSER.SBH file using the Edit(or). In
- order to give someone SYSOP privileges, you must change the #1 at the
- end of the line to a #2. The user, if on-line, must re-log on for it to
- take effect.
