Q: Why should I register ? Is there any difference between the
registered version and the non-registered version ?
A: Telemate is not free. You must register after the 30-day evaluation
time period. When you register, you will receive the Extended Edition
which supports up to 8M EMS memory and have the ending screen removed.
Q: Can Telemate run under DESQview/386 ?
A: Yes, it can. The following is the settings for DESQview v2.25 with
QEMM-386

Q: What is the correct setting for USR HST ?
A: Type the following command in the terminal.
AT Z <cr>
AT B1C1E1F1M3Q0V1X6 <cr>
AT &A1&M4&K0&H1&R2&I0&B1&N <cr>
AT &W <cr>
Then
1. select 19200 or 38400 baud for maximum throughput
2. change the Modem Init string to "ATZ^M~"
3. turn on the RTS/CTS flow control
4. turn off the AutoBaudDetect option.
The following is the display for the HST settings

Q: Does Telemate support expanded memory ?
A: The Extended Edition supports up to 8M bytes EMS 3.2 or EMS 4.0
memory. It stores the phone directory file and the virtual
memory file.
Q: Does Telemate support extended memory ?
A: No, it doesn't. But you can use some software EMS emulator to
change the extended memory to expanded memory. Of cource, you
need the Extended Edition to use the EMS.
Q: How can I change the size of the phone directory?
A: Run TMPHONE.EXE and select the ChangeSize item in the menu. Then
you can increase the size up to 1000 entries.
Q: Can I run a external program by pressing only one key ?
A: Yes, the new Hot Key macro sequence "^=" allows you to use the
function keys as hot keys, for example "^=DIR *.ZIP^M" will
display all the ZIP file.
Q: Can I have more than 4 external protocols ?
A: If you specify a second "^=" in the Hot Key macro, say "^=MLINK-D ^=",
the second "^=" will be translated to baud rate and COM port information,
in this case the macro will be translated "MLINK-D 1200 1".
Q: My modem does not hang up right the way after I press [Alt H]. Do
I set something wrong ?
A: You should include the macro "^#", which drop the DTR, in the Modem
HangUp string. Moreover, you should set the DIP switch in the modem
such that the terminal can control the DTR.
Q: How can I get rid of the menu bar ?
A: When you execute TM.EXE, you can include the full screen option '/F'
in the DOS command line, for example, "TM /F". Then the terminal
will use the whole screen.
Q: Why does the cursor disappear in the EGA mode?
A: A bug in the IBM EGA adapter causes this problem. For some strange
reasons, some vendors duplicate the bug in their adaptor. If you
have one of these adaptors, you have to switch to the EGA 43-row
mode before you execute TM.EXE. For example, you can create a
batch file named TM43.BAT containing
EGAMODE 43
TM %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
provided that the utility EGAMODE.COM is supplied by the vendor.
All the EGA modes have been tested and works prefectly on the
ATI EGA WONDER 800.
Q: Where can I reach the author ?
A: You can dial one of the support BBSs. They are
