Quick-Start Host Instructions.
You will use the following files:
QMHOST.DOC (You're reading it)
PRELOG.HST Sample Host opening file
MENU.HST Sample Main Menu file
PROTS.HST Sample Protocols available file
LOGOFF.HST Sample Closing message file
QMHOST.BAT Required file for Shell to DOS to work
Step 1. Place these files in your Qmodem directory.
Step 2. Verify that Alt-N has all the correct settings to answer the phone
and hang up. (refer to the Qmodem DOCs for this)
Step 3. Create a Host subdirectory (any name) with the MKDIR command and
place this in Alt-N/H/F. This will be where the Uploads and
Downloads reside. Do NOT place your HST files in there!
Step 4. Verify the Alt-N/H settings. Make sure the time online is set to
a reasonable value. Note: Downloads are not compared to the time
remaining. After a download has completed/aborted, the time
remaining is compared and the appropriate action is taken.
Step 5. Make sure you are positioned to the Qmodem Root directory.
Step 6. Press Alt-V and edit the QMHOST.PWD file and add your name to the
top like this:
JOHN FRIEL PASSWORD 1 ; The Sysop!
The fields should be SPACE separated. The '1' means you can shut
the system down from remote with the 'Z' command (provided you
remember the Shutdown Password). All other users should have a
level 0. (this is planned for future growth) If you have it set
as an OPEN system, all new users will automatically get a level 0
when they are added to the file. If you have a CLOSED system,
then the users have to be pre-coded or it will deny them access.
Step 7. Start Qmodem and press Alt-5. You should then see the
'Waiting for Calls' message. Then press F1 to log in locally.
You should be able to execute the F & G commands only (as the
others require you to actually be 'Online').
Step 8. Log off. Have a friend call and test your system out while you
watch. Just for security sake.
Setting up the 'Shell to DOS'
Step 1. Verify that the QMHOST.BAT file is in the current directory or in
the PATH= statement. This BAT file should have the following
line in it:
Qhost %1 %2
You can modify this BAT file to do additional commands before and
after the Qhost execution if need be. The Qhost line itself
should NOT be modified. It requires the passed parameters for
the QHOST.EXE to execute correctly.
Thats it! Your Qmodem Host mode should be up and running!
