TELEFON
Telefon is a communications program in the style of Qmodem, with
several added features.
Most commands are standard. To get help, type [Home]. To dial, type
[Alt]-D. If you enter more than one number, the program will dial them in
succession. Telefon uses XMODEM to send and receive files. To send text
in ASCII, use [Alt]-A. To capture incoming text, use [Alt-C], which
toggles on and off.
New features include these:
Automatic sign on.
For each entry in the dialing directory, you can store a string to be
sent automatically when a connection is established. Use Alt-M (macro) to
enter the sign-on strings. They can include pauses, carriage returns and
control characters: "||John|Doe|password|≈≈^K".
Command line parameter passing.
If you already know the name or listing number that you want to dial,
you can type "telefon pcsi" or "telefon 11" at the DOS prompt, and the
program will come up dialing. With multiple parameters ("telefon pcsi
factory forbin"), the program will cycle through the numbers until it
establishes a connection.
Telefon uses a dialing list file with the name Telefon.dir. If you
have a Qmodem.fon file in the default directory, Telefon will automatically
convert it into its own format.
Telefon is based heavily on public domain code by Paul Meiners, with
other code by Bela Lubkin, Philip R. Burns, James Tuksal, Jim Everingham
and Guy Gallo. If you find the program useful and would like to make a
freeware contribution, the author suggests that you send it to Mr. Meiners,
P & M Software Company, 9350 Country Creek #30, Houston, Texas 77036.
Any defects are the fault of the author, Jim Gleick. Messages can be
left at the P.C.S.I bulletin board in New York, (212) 924-6598.
This program may be freely distributed, but not sold.
