This group of programs was published in PC Magazine, March 5,
1985, by Stephen Manes. Although simple, it allows you to con-
trol your IBM pc via modem. You will immediately think of ways
to improve it, but I left it essentially as published. With the
following programs in the default directory:
ANSWER.BAT
BASICA.COM
BYE.BAS
GOODBYE.BAS
MODE.COM
PW.BAS
just type "ANSWER" at your pc and go away. When you want to use
your pc from elsewhere, call in with commumication parameters set
as in your program. Assuming you have entered your password(s)
in line 160 of PW.BAS, just type it in and you have control as if
you were at the console. To exit and reset your system, type
"GOODBYE" and hang up. The programs are written for a Hayes
modem or command set compatible and COM1, so you must adapt for
other configurations.
Keyboard differences, graphics, etc. are an advanced problem
and one the commercial programs may be appropriate. I'm just
itching to try the Kimtron KT-7 PC. If you try this program and
have trouble, refer to the original article or leave a message
for me on this bulletin board and I will try to help.
