- INTRODUCTION
-
- This archive is a handy set of 5 rexx scripts to control TimeConnect through Miami,
- which is very very handy to control your costs and time on the Internet (give it a try!)
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Just run the Install script (it won't bite ya!).
- The Install script will make a "Miami:rexx" dir, copy the rexx files to that location,
- open your text editor so you alter the miami:rexx/LaunchTC.mrx file (you need to change the TC path
- according to your setup), and finally launch multiview so you read this...
-
- After this you must run Miami and alter the "Events" options like this:
- (NOTE: Only registered Miami's support this)
-
- *Start* *End*
-
- ARexx Miami:rexx/LaunchTC.mrx ARexx Miami:rexx/QuitTC.mrx
- ^ ^
- | |__ String
- | *passive Offline*
- |__ PopUp
- ARexx Miami:rexx/Stop.mrx
- Keep GUI
- ^
- |__ PopUp
-
- *failed Online attempt*
- *active Offline*
- You can leave this one empty...
- ARexx Miami:rexx/Stop.mrx
-
- Keep GUI
-
-
- *Online*
-
- ARexx Miami:rexx/Start.mrx
-
- Hide GUI beep
-
- NOTE: These GUI options are prefered if you use Miami to connect, without the aid of a connection
- toggler script, in tht case, the "Start" GUI is better with "Hide GUI"... but hey, these are just my
- prefered settings ;)
-
-
- WHAT, YOU ALREADY HAD SOME EVENTS GADGETS WITH OTHER SCRIPTS? HEY! NO PROBLEMO!!
-
- Simply make an AmigaDOS script with a text editor, and put all the rexx files you want in there, for example,
- if you want to both run Start.mrx and IconifyTC.mrx when Miami gets Online (pretty handy):
-
- --- top of file ---
-
- sys:rexxc/rx miami:rexx/start.mrx
- sys:rexxc/rx miami:rexx/iconifytc.mrx
-
- --- bottom of file ---
-
- And then alter the PopUp to "Shell" and not "ARexx" remember that...
-
-
- PHONE RATES FILES FOR TIMECONNECT
-
- Portuguese phone rates are available in another file I made: TC_Portugal.lha (comm/misc)
- For others contact the author or search in Aminet.
-
-
- PORTUGUESE SETTINGS FOR MIAMI
-
- Another archive I made up: Miami_Portugal.lha (comm/net)
- Just load it in Miami and add your login name and password (for the Telepac ISP).
