- DESCRIPTION:
- telser.device ("telser") is a modem simulator running over a TCP
- telnet/rlogin connection. It simulates basic `modem commands', so
- telecommunication ("comm") programs can run over a network connection.
- To the comm program, it thinks it's talking to a modem. Terminal
- emulation, file transfers, scripting, etc., are all handled by the
- comm program. Connecting to a host is as simple as typing "ATDT
- abc.edu,23" or even simpler if the host is in the comm's phonebook.
- Also, with telser's built-in scripting, logins can be fully automated.
-
- telser supports most of the telnet/rlogin negotiation commands and
- options. For example, you may elect to notify the remote host on
- changes to the terminal emulation type and window size. An intuitive
- "gadtools" graphical user interface is supplied to control most of
- telser's operations.
-
- telser can also run in host mode, essentially allowing it to accept
- incoming telnet/rlogin calls. When telser is configured to run as a
- telnetd/rlogind, remote users can log in and run standard shell
- commands and CLI "doors" such as online games. Unwanted connections
- can be denied. Calls may be tracked by a caller ID feature. A
- "multi-line" BBS can be easily set up over the internet!
-
- telser is capable of unlimited device units, which means unlimited
- incoming and outgoing connections are possible. It supports both
- TCP/IP packages on the Amiga, namely AmiTCP (tested with 3.x and 4.x)
- and AS225r2 (or compatible). MLINK, is also supported.
